What is the expression for terminal speed in this homework statement?

In summary, the induced emf in a loop is equal to the negative change in flux through the loop, which can be calculated using the equation ε = -dφ/dt = -d(BA)/dt = -BL(dA/dt) = -BLv. This is why ε = Bvl and not equal to Bvl when v is not constant.

The Attempt at a Solution


I think ε≠Bvl because ε = - dø/dt=- Bd(v.t)/dt, v is not constant.
Why ε=Bvl?

The induced emf in the loop is related to the change in flux through a surface whose boundary is the loop: $$\epsilon = -\frac{\text{d} \phi}{\text{d}t} = -\frac{\text{d}}{\text{d}t} \int_S \mathbf{B} \cdot \mathbf{dS}$$
In your case, the B field is of constant magnitude and direction and dS instantaneously is Ldx.

dø/dt = d(B. Area)/dt = d(BLx)/dt = BL dx/dt = BLv.

1. What is the formula for terminal speed?

The formula for terminal speed is V = sqrt((2mg)/(ρAC)), where V is the terminal speed, m is the mass of the object, g is the acceleration due to gravity, ρ is the density of the fluid, A is the cross-sectional area, and C is the drag coefficient.

2. What is terminal speed?

Terminal speed, also known as terminal velocity, is the maximum speed that an object can reach when falling through a fluid (such as air or water). It occurs when the drag force on the object is equal to the gravitational force pulling it down.

3. How is terminal speed affected by mass?

The terminal speed of an object is directly proportional to its mass. This means that as the mass of the object increases, so does its terminal speed.

4. Does the shape of an object affect its terminal speed?

Yes, the shape of an object can greatly affect its terminal speed. Objects with a larger cross-sectional area, such as a parachute, will experience more air resistance and therefore have a lower terminal speed compared to objects with a smaller cross-sectional area, such as a bullet.

5. Can terminal speed be exceeded?

No, terminal speed is the maximum speed that an object can reach when falling through a fluid. Once an object reaches its terminal speed, it will no longer accelerate and will continue to fall at a constant speed. This is due to the balance of forces between gravity and air resistance.
