it is very difficult to mathematically calculate, but a simple experiment can be performed by almost anyone.
You will need:
-1 Bowling ball
-2 people, no more, no less.
1) Get Person A to bring with him the bowling ball, and be approximately 15 feet or higher above Person B. Previous users claim using a ladder to get on top of a residential roof gives them a perfect height, but remember to keep safety in mind!
*It is a very good idea to leave all of Person A and B's electronics, cell phones and sharp objects on the ground
2) Once Person A is on the roof, Person B must now remove the ladder for safety reasons.
3) Person A now drops the bowling ball directly above where Person B was standing. Ensure Person B stands still, to accurately record the time without delay. You are now finding the variable "t".
4) Person B will lay on the ground signalling that he recorded the time. It will appear that he is sleeping, but calculations of this precision can be very exhausting. Allow him to rest. Your experiment is now complete, aside from the final calculation.
v is velocity
d is height of roof
t is time ball took to fall.

What is The greatest velocity a falling object?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
What is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?
The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........
What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The fastest velocity a falling object can reach is called its terminal velocity. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the downwards force of weight (gravity), so the object is in equilibrium, and thus reaches a constant velocity.
The largest velocity reached by falling object is its?
Terminal velocity.
Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
What is the most velocity of a falling object can get called?
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 is velocity of a falling object related to the length of time the object falls?
Velocity increases but not infinitely.
What so the greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
The name for it is "terminal velocity". What it is depends on what the object is.
What would you call it when air resistance the force of gravity and a falling object stops accelerating?
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is it called momentum?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called the terminal velocity.For an object falling at the terminal velocity, the weight force of the objectis balanced by the drag force and buoyant force on the object.W + FDRAG + FBUOYANT = FNET = 0.0
