Based on the 9th grade book of Physical Science... Gravity is a force that acts between two masses, and Terminal velocity is the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity. So, gravity causes objects to accelerate downward, whereas air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion and reduces acceleration... which ties together terminal velocity.

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.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
What is it called when air resistance and gravity are the same?
Terminal Velocity
How are gravity and velocity related?
gravity affects the momentum and velocity of an object. momentum=mass x velocity
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 is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
What does terminal velocity depend on?
Gravity and air resistence.
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.
When an object reaches terminal velocity and there is no net force what is the initial force that got it going to keep it in motion?
Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.

What do you get when you subtract the force from resistance from the force of gravity?
Terminal Velocity
What is it called when air resistance and gravity are the same?
Terminal Velocity
When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
How do you figure terminal velocity?
That's the velocity at which the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity.
