How does air resistance affect fallig objects?
terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.
If air resistance is negligible then terminal velocity is the velocity of shock waves?
If resistance is negligible, then there is no terminal velocity.
What effect terminal velocity and air resistance have on a sky diver when he opens his parachute?
Air resistance increases and terminal velocity decreases when the parachute has opened.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.
What is it called when air resistance and gravity are the same?
Terminal Velocity

What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
Is terminal velocity a type of friction?
No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.
How does air ir resistance affect the accerleration of a falling object?
It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".
Why is the terminal velocity in water less than the terminal velocity in air?
More resistance, caused by a greater density.

Do the velocity of falling objects does not change?
If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.If there is no air resistance, they will fall faster and faster.If there is air resistance, they will eventually approach a "terminal velocity", a maximum speed, at which the downward pull of Earth is counteracted by the backward pull of air resistance.
The speed an object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of air resistance?
That is the object's terminal velocity.
Why is terminal velocity with a parachute open less than the terminal velocity before it was open?
because there is more air resistance
