Terminal velocity and momentum Flashcards

1
Q

what is terminal velocity

A

when object falls through a liquid
-object accelerates due to force of gravity
-as it speeds up resistive force increases
-resultant force reaches 0, object will fall at a steady speed

Q

in a closed system, what can be said about the momentum before and after collision?

A

total momentum before is equal to total momentum afterwards
rate of change of momentum = to force experienced in Collison
