The speed of a a falling object at any time ... considering the effect of gravitation only and
neglecting the influence of air ... is 9.8 meters per second (32.2 feet per second) greater
than it was one second earlier. The velocity is directed downward.

What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?

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 ...........


When the only force acting on a falling object is gravity the objects is said to be?

The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?

known as terminal velocity, which is reached when the force of gravity pulling the object downwards is balanced by the upward force of air resistance. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed with no further acceleration.


What causes falling objects to reach top velocity?

Falling objects reach top velocity due to the acceleration of gravity pulling them downwards. As the object falls, the force of gravity causes it to accelerate until air resistance (or another opposing force) balances out the acceleration, leading to a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.


When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the objects stop accelerating its velocity is called the?

terminal velocity


How do you calulate acceleration?

a=dv/dt a=acceleration v=velocity t=time.


What is the speed limit of falling objects called?

The speed limit of falling objects is called terminal velocity. This is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is falling through (like air) equals the force of gravity acting on it.


How does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?

Slows an object down or speeds one up.


What is the terminal velocity of falling objects in water?

Terminal velocity of falling objects in water depends on the object's shape, size, and density, as well as the water's viscosity. Generally, small objects like spheres have lower terminal velocities due to less drag, while larger or less streamlined objects will have higher terminal velocities. The terminal velocity is reached when the force of gravity on the object is balanced by the drag force acting in the opposite direction.


How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?

The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.


The gratest velocity a falling objects reaches?

The greatest speed a falling object is known as its terminal velocity. At this speed, the drag force from the air is equal to the object's weight, and so there is no net force to accelerate the object further.


Explain the effect that gravity has on the velocity of falling objects?

Gravity accelerates falling objects, causing them to increase in velocity as they fall towards the ground. The rate of acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2 on Earth, meaning that objects will speed up by 9.8 meters per second for every second they fall.
