3.2.2: Motion with non-uniform acceleration Flashcards
(5 cards)
1
Q
Terminal velocity
A
The maximum velocity a falling body can travel at because resistive force is equal to the weight of the object
2
Q
Viscosity
A
A measure of a fluid’s resistance to flowing
3
Q
Drag
A
A frictional force opposing motion due to an object moving through a fluid.
Drag ∝ speed^2
Drag ∝ surface area
4
Q
Fluid
A
A substance that can flow, including liquids and gases
5
Q
Uniform gravitational field
A
A region in space in which objects experience the same gravitational field strength
