The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.
a falling object accelerates 32ft per second per second
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
When the force of friction due to air resistance at that speed becomes equal to the object's weight. At that point, the sum of the vertical forces on the object is zero, so it no longer accelerates.
Yes, if it reaches terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. When terminal velocity is reached, the downward gravitational force is equal to the upward force of air resistance, and the object no longer accelerates.
Terminal velocity means the object no longer accelerates; that means that all forces are in balance, the net force is zero.

"Terminal" velocity.
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
When the force of friction due to air resistance at that speed becomes equal to the object's weight. At that point, the sum of the vertical forces on the object is zero, so it no longer accelerates.
Yes, if it reaches terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. When terminal velocity is reached, the downward gravitational force is equal to the upward force of air resistance, and the object no longer accelerates.
A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)
Terminal velocity means the object no longer accelerates; that means that all forces are in balance, the net force is zero.
"Terminal velocity" means that it no longer accelerates; and that, in turn, means that the net force must be zero.
Terminal velocity is when air resistance balances out with gravity. For humans it's usually around 2000 ft of falling, gravity accelerates the person towards the ground at about 9.8m/s, as said person speeds up, air resistance increases and it becomes harder to accelerate. Terminal velocity is the point at which one may no longer accelerate. To control it: more air resistance = slower descent (terminal velocity comes sooner and is not as fast (i.e.parachutes), less air resistance = faster descent, it may take longer to reach terminal velocity as it is a much higher speed.
Terminal velocity- When a falling object is no longer accelerating; the force due to gravity is equal to the opposing force of air resistance.
"Terminal velocity" means the object no longer accelerates - forces are in equilibrium. Therefore, the net force is zero - gravitation is exactly offset by friction.
