Terminal Velocity

Question 1

What is terminal velocity

Answer 1

the maximum velocity that an object can attain when it is falling through a fluid, such as air or water. Once an object reaches terminal velocity, the force of friction from the fluid is equal to the force of gravity, and the object will fall at a constant velocity.

Question 2

Things that affect air restistanve and why

Answer 2

Velocity - the faster there moving the more particles they will collide with slowing them down .

Surface area - higher the surface area the larger the area over which collisions can take place

Question 3

What happens as u accelerate downwards in midair

Answer 3

Acceleration will fall

Question 4

What happens to a velocity time graph as time goes on

Answer 4

Gets less steep as the rate of acceleration decreases

Question 5

How to find distance traveled in a velocity time graph

Answer 5

Area under a velocity time graph is the distance travelled
