what is the answer of 60905÷3•2
Answers
Answer:
Terminal velocity is the fastest speed that an object will reach as it falls through the air. As a skydiver jumps, gravity pulls them towards the earth, accelerating their fall. At the same time, air resistance is pushing back on them and increases at higher speeds. A skydiver's speed will continue to increase until the pull of gravity equals the air resistance pushing against them (or until they deploy their parachute). At this point, they will have reached terminal velocity and will fall at a constant speed, no longer accelerating. The
takes into account an object's mass, gravity's pull, the resistance provided by air or fluid, and the area of an object.
Enough math, though. Here are some fun free fall facts! When falling in the standard belly-to-Earth position, an average estimate of terminal velocity for skydivers is 120 mph (200 km/h), and a falling person will reach terminal velocity after about 12 seconds, falling some 450 m (1,500 ft) in that time. Peregrine falcons, known for their high-speed dives when attacking their prey, can reach speeds of over 200 mph (322 km/h).
