Forces And Terminal Velocity P
Muhtasari
Drop a stone off a cliff and it gets faster the whole way down. Drop a skydiver out of an aircraft and something stranger happens: after roughly half a minute she stops getting faster at all, and spends the rest of the fall at a steady 44 m/s with the ground still a long way below. Nothing has caught her and nothing has switched gravity off. The air itself has grown a force big enough to match her weight, and it did so by the simple trick of her going faster.
This lesson is about that force. You will learn why a fluid pushes back harder the quicker you move through it, why every falling object therefore has a speed limit of its own, and how to read the whole story off a velocity-time graph whose gradient dies away to nothing. Then you will use the idea in both directions: parachutes, which are built to make the speed limit as low as possible, and sharks and racing cars, which are shaped to push it as high as possible.
Malengo
- An object moving through a fluid experiences friction. The faster the object moves, the greater the frictional forces (drag) acting on it.
- An object falling through a fluid will initially accelerate due to the force of gravity and the drag forces increase as the velocity increases. Eventually the resultant force will be zero and the object will move at its terminal velocity.
- Parachutes are designed to increase the drag force on a parachutist so that the terminal velocity is reduced. Students should be able to draw and interpret velocity-time graphs for objects that reach terminal velocity, including a consideration of the forces acting on the object.
- Streamlining reduces the drag force on an object so that its maximum velocity is increased. Students should be able to describe how the streamlining of a shark (an adaptation) or a car (a design feature) reduces the drag force and the object.
