Terminal velocity

depends on the speed of an object as well as the size of its surface, by opening your parachute you are creating a much larger area for the gas molecules to hit as well the curved design helping In a increased air resistance dramatically reducing your terminal…

change in magnetic flux (figure 2). This force is dependent on: The size and shape of the conductor and magnet The strength of the magnet (μ) The conductors conductivity (σ_c) The distance between the conductive surface and the magnet (d) The velocity of the magnet (v) According to Faraday’s law, discovered in 1831 by Michael Faraday, this alteration in flux produces electromotive force (EMF) and eddy currents inside the metal. (Meerman, 2014) This force is the retarding force that is…

They can jump seven times their original height. Cats can’t taste sweet tastes. A cat’s average terminal velocity, (it’s max speed while falling) is a lot slower than other mammals, what that means is if you dropped a cat down a semi-big drop, and they land on a flat surface, they’d probably live. A cat’s terminal velocity is about 60 mph, for comparison, a human’s terminal velocity is 130 mph. Cats “Survival Mode” While…

effect will its descension rate.This science of this project includes newtons second law, drag force, gravity, velocity and terminal velocity . This experiments main focus is air resistance. Project rationale/ purpose In this experiment I will test if having small holes in a parachute help the parachute from falling as fast. This projects major focus scientifically is on terminal velocity. This project will help anyone who jumps out of a plane from skydivers to soldiers have a more comfortable…

the acceleration of a falling mini-basketball, the results gathered disagreed with my predicted outcome. Originally, I could not imagine how the graph might appear. I could not visualize an object falling and what its acceleration, position, and velocity might be on the graph. However, after completing the first experiment, I realized that the graphs would look somewhat the same in relation to the basketball since this object was not affected as much as the lighter weight objects (Frisbee and…

ultrasonic interferometer is a simple and direct device to determine the ultrasonic velocity in liquids with a high degree of accuracy. An ultrasonic interferometer is used to determine the accurate ultrasonic velocity in liquids. The principle used in the measurement of velocity is based on the accurate determination of the wavelength in the medium. The principle of ultrasonic interferometer for the measurement of velocity is determination of the accurate wavelength in the medium. Ultrasonic…

the change in velocity and in the F=ma equation, the F stands for net force. For example, if a car was traveling at a constant velocity, it would still have forces such as gravity, friction, and normal force acting on it. 2. Only one force acts on an object. Can the object have zero acceleration? Can it have zero velocity? Explain. a. If only one force acts on the object, then the net force cannot be zero. Therefore, it cannot have zero acceleration. The object can have zero velocity for an…

article review assignment, hasa03953, BBS 100 Wk. 7 The assigned reading material for this week of the course is authored by Nathan Foster, and titled "The effects of Meplat on terminal ballistics". The article appeared on ballisticstudies.com (http://www.ballisticstudies.com/Knowledgebase/The+Effects+Of+The+Meplat+On+Terminal+Ballistics.html) Mr. Foster opened his article by providing a little backdrop on the word "meplat". It is French in origin, and means "flat". It doesn't refer to the…

The most exhilarating, terrifying ride of the year is soon going to be opening! The Railroad Bridge is a terrifying ride guaranteed to make you feel the adrenaline coursing through your veins. This ride is based on the urban legend that comes from a railroad bridge on Susco Road in Pennsylvania. In the legend it says it is a bridge where a bride supposedly hung herself, and some say if you put your keys on your car at the sight, you can see the bride in the mirrors. The passengers will…

the surface, with the highest air pressure point on the ride! The speed will never disappoint, you will reach speeds up to 85 mph! The ride has to work against gravity as you travel through the jungle. Riders will feel velocity throughout the whole ride and will feel terminal velocity at the bottom of the ginormous hill. If you make it through the heart-pounding jungle and temples, at the end of your expedition your momentum will just want to keep exploring, however the friction will slow you…
