- The Third day discusses uniform and naturally accelerated motion, the issue of terminal velocity having been addressed in the First day.
- Thus, the preference for "step" footwork has reduced the "terminal velocity" modern jive can be danced at - because it forces a weight change every beat.
- Terminal velocity is the maximum velocity (speed) attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example).
- They very quickly reach a terminal velocity because of friction with the air in the chamber.
- The star is losing mass by a polar stellar wind with a terminal velocity of approximately 1,000 km/s.
- In these cases, landers may employ parachutes to slow them down enough to maintain a low terminal velocity.
- The basis for this test is Stoke's Law for falling spheres in a viscous fluid in which the terminal velocity of fall depends on the grain diameter and the densities of the grain in suspension and of the fluid.
- The aerodynamic drag forces in such situations prevent them from producing full weightlessness, and thus a skydiver's "free fall" after reaching terminal velocity produces the sensation of the body's weight being supported on a cushion of air.
- A droplet with a diameter of 3mm has a terminal velocity of approximately 8 m/s.
- The orbiter had no escape system, and the impact of the crew compartment at terminal velocity with the ocean surface was too violent to be survivable.
- However, this does not include a (non-free) fall in which air resistance produces drag forces that reduce the acceleration until constant terminal velocity is reached.
- The terminal velocity of the particle is affected by many parameters, i.e.
