Weight and Terminal velocity Flashcards
1
Q
What is the acceleration of objects near the Earth’s surface falling freely under gravity?
A
9.8 m/s^2
2
Q
What is terminal velocity?
A
An object falling through a fluid initially accelerates due to the force of gravity. Eventually the resultant force will be 0 and the object will move at its terminal velocity.

Q
What is the equation for weight?
A
Weight = mass x gravitational field strength
