When a object falls what does it reach because of air resistance?
When an object falls, air resistance causes it to reach a terminal velocity. After that, it does not increase the speed of falling, no matter how far it has still to fall.
A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity during this 5 second interval her acceleration?
the crate will reach terminal velocity last, but hit the ground frist.
What causes a falling object to reach terminal velocity?
Its the air resistance that causes the free falling body to reach its terminal velocity
Does rain reach terminal velocity?
Yes
How can you measure when an object has reached terminal velocity?
the terminal velocity is the total speed that its take an object to reach the point it required from the initial velocity

How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.

Is terminal velocity the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Absolutely correct.
When does an object reach terminal velocity?
In skydiving, the standard time to reach terminal velocity is about 12 seconds. Of course, "your mileage may vary....."
Is it true that the steady speed reached by a skydiver is called the terminal velocity?
Yes. Not just a skydiver; anything that falls long enough will eventually reach "terminal velocity", which means that it will continue falling at a constant speed, because the force of gravity and the force of air resistance are in balance.
What is the name of the greatest velocity a falling object can reach?
Terminal velocity. It occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the force applied by air resistance in the opposite direction. With equal and opposite forces the object can not accelerate and falls at a constant speed. Every object has a different terminal velocity and depending on the surface area, can also be manipulated
What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The fastest velocity a falling object can reach is called its terminal velocity. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the downwards force of weight (gravity), so the object is in equilibrium, and thus reaches a constant velocity.
What is the reason for rain drops to fall with a constant speed by the time they reach earth?
They reach their terminal velocity.
