Uh, no I am not. In fact:Quote from: TheEngineer on August 29, 2008, 11:57:16 AMThe t subscript indicates terminal velocity.
The t subscript indicates terminal velocity.
No, the terminal velocity is not known nor did it replace a known.BTW, I am serious about the inquiry into what grade you are in. I think your limited view of physics is what is causing you to fail.
Do you not understand what terminal velocity is? What grade are you in, again?

objectively good
It seems cbarnett is trying to swap terminal velocity for his own "terminal acceleration." Even though they are the same thing...
They will show the same outcome, as I have already mathematically proven. You have yet to break my equations.
You are wrong because you assert that the velocity of the object will reach a point where it no longer increases and the FE model says that is not possible
how are they the same thing? If an object is accelerating how is its velocity constant?

Well, that is something you should work on. What grade are you in?
well when you learn what a free-body shows and then learn how to set one up maybe you will see that Wiki can not teach you everything. Oh wait you are supposed to be an engineer of some sort so you should know how to do one by now.

Oh wait you are supposed to be an engineer of some sort so you should know how to do one by now.There is this thing they teach us in engineering school: Critical thinking. You kind of need it in the real world where there are no textbook examples and the answers are not in the back of the book. Look at my equations. They are perfectly set up for the situation at hand. I know it is probably too much for an eighth grader to understand, but try.
First question:A plane must create an upwards acceleration equal to that of 'gravity' so that it will maintain altitude, correct?
I'm going to side with the white supremacists.
An unbalanced force.
Where did you educate the biology, in toulet?
Good God, he's still trying.
Quote from: Roundy the Truthinessist on August 29, 2008, 11:47:06 PMGood God, he's still trying.Yes I am patient I will help him all I can. If someone is going to defend a model they should at least understand that model
So if you have an unbalanced force what is the result you get?

Answer it.
Of course it will

in that problem we are trying to maintain a distance between 2 objects,

If an object is accelerating how is its velocity constant?Quotein that problem we are trying to maintain a distance between 2 objects,So that must mean the the accelerations are...equal.
but that is what we are solving for in that problem, in what we have been talking about we are not looking for it to maintain a constant altitude
Quote from: cbarnett97 on August 30, 2008, 12:33:15 AMbut that is what we are solving for in that problem, in what we have been talking about we are not looking for it to maintain a constant altitude Not a constant altitude, but a constant velocity. Relative velocity. Relative acceleration.
All truth passes through three stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.
