Which object would have the slowest speed at terminal velocity?(1 point) Responses a 50-kilogram block with a large parachute a 50-kilogram block with a large parachute a 10-kilogram block with no parachute a 10-kilogram block with no parachute a 10-kilogram block with a small parachute a 10-kilogram block with a small parachute a 50-kilogram block with no parachute

Answer 1

The object that would have the slowest speed at terminal velocity would be the 50-kilogram block with a large parachute.

This is because terminal velocity is reached when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force acting on the object. A larger parachute increases drag, which reduces the terminal velocity, allowing the heavier block to fall slower than it would without parachute assistance.
