This is a question that is highly relevant to the sport of Baseball. Generations of baseball players have found that the best way to change the velocity of a falling baseball is to catch it.
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
Any change in the velocity of anything is known as 'acceleration'. In the case of a falling object near the Earth's surface, the direction of the velocity is constant, and its magnitude increases by 9.8 meters (32.2 feet) per second, every second.
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
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.
terminal velocity
Terminal velocity.
Velocity increases
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
Velocity increases but not infinitely.
The name for it is "terminal velocity". What it is depends on what the object is.
