Describe how gravity and air resistance combine when an object reaches terminal velocity?

The faster something moves, the more air resistance is created. So as gravity pulls something faster, the air resistance increases as it's speed does, until the forces of air resistance and gravity are equal, making the object move at a steady pace.

∙ 14y agoAt terminal velocity, the force caused by air resistance and the force caused by gravity add up to zero. If you have a weight of 500N, your terminal velocity will be that at which air resistance equals -500N. At this point, there is no net force acting on you and you will remain at this velocity until the net force becomes nonzero (from spreading your arms out or maybe hitting the ground).

Does Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes. - And please don't combine "does" and "is" in the same question that way.
How do you find the resulting velocity?
When you combine 2 velocities that are in the same directions, add them together to find the resultant velocity. When you combine 2 velocities that are in opposite directions, subtract the smaller velocity from the larger velocity to find the resultant velocity.

Which fall faster big rain drop or small rain drop?
The viscosity of air provides a drag force on a raindrop and keeps it from falling with the acceleration of gravity. When a drop is falling (assuming it does not combine with other drops in the process) it will reach a terminal velocity which depends on its diameter. The larger the diameter the larger the terminal velocity. Specifically, the terminal velocity is proportional to the square root of the diameter of the drop. Big rain drops fall faster than small rain drops. See related links for details and equations.

Do velocity vectors combine with force vectors?
simply: No, Velocity vectors are different to force vectors. One measures velocity and one measures force so you can not simply add/subtract/multiply/divide them together and get something meaningful.
Is Speed is a vector quantitys?
Speed is not a vector quantity, because it has no direction. When you combine speed with a direction, then you have a vector, called "velocity".
