  7. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    Terminal velocity. The downward force of gravity ( Fg) equals the restraining force of drag ( Fd) plus the buoyancy. The net force on the object is zero, and the result is that the velocity of the object remains constant. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid ( air is the most common example).

    A typhoon is a tropical cyclone that develops between 180° and 100°E in the Northern Hemisphere and which produces sustained hurricane-force winds of at least 119 km/h (74 mph). [ 1] This region is referred to as the Northwestern Pacific Basin, [ 2] accounting for almost one third of the world's tropical cyclones.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    The speed of sound is the distance travelled per unit of time by a sound wave as it propagates through an elastic medium. More simply, the speed of sound is how fast vibrations travel. At 20 °C (68 °F), the speed of sound in air is about 343 m/s (1,125 ft/s; 1,235 km/h; 767 mph; 667 kn ), or 1 km in 2.91 s or one mile in 4.69 s.
