Terminal Velocity Flashcards
1
Q
What will happen to an object if there is no force propelling it along?
A
It will always slow down and stop
2
Q
What direction does friction act on?
A
the opposite direction
3
Q
How can you reduce friction?
A
using lubricant
4
Q
What is drag?
A
The resistance you get in a fluid, (air resistance is a type of drag)
5
Q
What happens to drag as it increases?
A
speed increases
6
Q
What happens to objects as they fall through fluids?

they reach a terminal velocity
7
Q
What happens to friction as the speed increases?
A
friction builds up
8
Q
What does terminal velocity depend on?
A
Shape and Area
9
