What else can I help you with?
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its what?
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the constant maximum velocity reached by an object when the drag force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force acting on the object.
How can one determine when terminal velocity is reached?
Terminal velocity is reached when the force of air resistance acting on a falling object is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity pulling the object down. This results in a net force of zero, causing the object to fall at a constant speed. Terminal velocity varies depending on the size, shape, and weight of the object.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
Yes. When the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the falling object, the net force on the object becomes zero, causing it to reach terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
The largest velocity reached by falling object is its?
Terminal velocity.

The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its what?
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the constant maximum velocity reached by an object when the drag force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force acting on the object.
What is the acceleration of falling object that has reached its terminal velocity?
Zero, by definition.

Terminal velocity is reached when the force of air resistance acting on a falling object is equal in magnitude to the force of gravity pulling the object down. This results in a net force of zero, causing the object to fall at a constant speed. Terminal velocity varies depending on the size, shape, and weight of the object.

What is the maximum velocity reached by a falling object that occurs when the resistance of the medium is equal to force due to gravity?
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and reaches a constant speed as the drag force balances out the force of gravity acting on the object.
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity it continues to gain what?
When a falling object has reached terminal velocity, it no longer accelerates due to air resistance matching the force of gravity. At this point, the object continues to fall at a constant speed without gaining any additional velocity.
When a falling object had stopped accelerating it has reached its?
When a falling object has stopped accelerating, it has reached its terminal velocity. At this point, the force of air resistance acting on the object is equal to the force of gravity pulling it downward, resulting in a balanced force and a constant velocity.
What happens before terminal velocity takes place?
Before terminal velocity is reached, an object will be accelerating due to the force of gravity. As the object accelerates, air resistance (drag) will increase, which will gradually counteract the force of gravity until the two forces are equal and the object reaches terminal velocity.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
