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 happens before terminal velocity takes place?
Before reaching terminal velocity, an object will fall faster and faster.
Why does a heavier object fall with the same accelerate as a lighter object?
all objects have a terminal velocity once youu reach terminal velocity you can not fall any faster
How fast is terminal velocity for a penny if it is in a vacuum?
If the penny is in a vaccum, the penny has no terminal velocity because verminal velocity is when the resistance against the falling penny is equal to the force of gravity. So if it is in a vaccum, it has no forces resisting the fall, and it has no terminal velocity.
What defines a point at which an object will not accelerate any more?
Terminal velocity defines the point at which an object will no longer accelerate. When a falling object reaches terminal velocity, it will continue to fall at a constant speed.

What is the terminal velocity of body in a freely falling system?
Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.

Before reaching terminal velocity, an object will fall faster and faster.

How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
What is the difference between free fall and terminal velocity?
The difference between free fall and terminal velocity i that free fall is when an object is falling or descending through the air with little air resistance or drag. Terminal Velocity, on the other hand is when the resistance of air and the force of gravity balance each other out causing the object to reach a constant velocity. .

Terminal velocity defines the point at which an object will no longer accelerate. When a falling object reaches terminal velocity, it will continue to fall at a constant speed.
What is the final velocity?
Perhaps you mean Terminal Velocity, as in a parachute fall? This is the maximum speed reached in the fall. Final velocity will be zero, assuming you arrive on the ground.
Does terminal speed and terminal velocity are the same?
Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
What occurs when there is no air resistance?
-- "free fall" -- absence of terminal velocity
What only occurs when there is no air resistance?
-- "free fall" -- absence of terminal velocity
