How can you measure when an object has reached terminal velocity?

Objects are said to have reached their terminal velocity when they no longer accelerate.

final velocity, or terminal velocity.

It's terminal velocity.

An object that has reached its terminal velocity is going at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity. The rate of change is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.

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.

Terminal velocity is reached when the force of gravity is equal to the drag (force) on an object.

it depends on the mass of the object

For an object in freefall, terminal velocity is reached when the drag force becomes equal and opposite to the force of gravity. This creates a net force of 0, resulting in no further acceleration.

reached "Terminal Velocity".

In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.

"Terminal Velocity". Usually about 125 mph.

i believe you are referring to terminal velocity

Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling body reaches constant velocity due to air resistance.

Yes, if it reaches terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. When terminal velocity is reached, the downward gravitational force is equal to the upward force of air resistance, and the object no longer accelerates.

1) Terminal velocity is never quite reached; a falling object will get closer and closer to terminal velocity. You can put some arbitrary limit, for which you can say that "for all intents and purposes, terminal velocity has been reached", for example, 95%, or 99%, of terminal velocity. 2) The actual terminal velocity varies for different objects. A feather will approach its terminal velocity almost instantly; a heavy object, without much surface area (for example, a steel ball) will have to fall more seconds (and more meters or feet), before it is anywhere close its terminal velocity.

An object falls faster and faster, until the force of the air resistance equals the force of gravity. When that happens, the object will not accelerate (speed up) any more, and is said to have reached terminal velocity.

it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air

Its called terminal velocity

Technically, its false.... Terminal Velocity is defined as "the constant maximum velocity reached by an object falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity". The crash is simple a result of and the conclusion to the fall....

While an object falls faster and faster, the backwards force of air resistance will increase. Once the force of air resistance equals the force of gravitation, the object will no longer accelerate, and is said to have reached "terminal velocity".

Its terminal velocity. This happens when the net force on the object is zero and therefore it stops accelerating. This makes sense intuitively because the faster something falls, the more air resistance it experiences. Once this air resistance force reaches the force of weight of the object, terminal velocity has been reached.

It's called terminal velocity! :)

99% of the object cause terminal velocity is determined from an object when it is going as fast as it will go

Terminal velocity is the constant maximum velocity reached by a body falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity. An object is moving at its terminal velocity if its speed is constant due to the restraining force exerted by the air, water, or other fluid through which it is moving.

Terminal velocity is the velocity that a falling object approaches asymptotically as it falls through a resisting medium (like air). If an object impacts something before getting close to the terminal velocity it will still have an "ending velocity" but it won't be the same as the terminal velocity. If an object falls far enough, the ending velocity will approach the terminal velocity close enough for them to be essentially the same.
