When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has a?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity is achieved when an object?
is falling as fast as air resistance will allow it to.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
What is the greatest velocity a falling objecy reaches?
The greatest velocity, achieved when the acceleration due to gravity is balanced by the aerodynamic deceleration, is called the terminal velocity.
What makes an object move faster and faster as it approaches the ground?
Gravity, until terminal velocity is achieved.
What is the terminal velocity of a human?
Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.
What does a parachute do to terminal velocity?
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
How do atoms pass their terminal velocity in a particle accelerator?
Passing the terminal velocity is clearly not possible, otherwise it could not be called the terminal velocity!
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
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.
