The drag force on a falling sky diver is also known as?
Terminal Velocity.
Type of force that can change the velocity of a body at rest or in motion?
Any force will cause change in velocity if it isn't canceled by an equal, opposite force.
The drag force acting on a falling sky diver is also known as?
Terminal Velocity.
What type of force will cause change in velocity?
Any force will cause change in velocity if it isn't canceled by an equal, opposite force.
What type of force will cause a change in velocity?
Any force will cause a change in velocity if it's not canceled by an equal opposite force.
When a sky diver reaches terminal velocity what happens to the two forces of weight and drag?
The weight force and drag force will be equal
Why does a heavy sky diver have a terminal speed greater than a light sky diver?
Terminal velocity is when air drag stops you from going any faster when falling. A heavier person will fall with greater force than the light sky diver falls at. So the heavier skydiver will require more force from air in order to keep him/her at terminal velocity
What does a force in the opposite direction to the motion cause?
A force applied to a moving object in the opposite direction of its motion causes its velocity to decrease.
Is viscous force present in air?
yes, viscous force is present in air. it is proportional to the velocity and area of the body and acts in the opposite direction of velocity.
How does the direction of friction compare with the dierection of the velcocity of a sliding object?
The "force" of friction is always exactly opposite the direction of motion.
If the diver doesn't have the correct form when she enters the water the force of the water can accelerate her speed?
ask me agin later im in a bad mood and cramping
What is it when gravity and speed are balanced?
I assume you mean when the acceleration of gravity stops altering the velocity of a falling object. At this point the force of air friction is equal but opposite to the force of gravity, velocity stops increasing in magnitude. This is called "terminal velocity."
