V = Vo + gt
where
Vo is the initial velocity of the object
g is the acceleration of gravity
t is time (Vo is measured when t=0)
NOTE: a positive value for V or Vo means an upward velocity, negative is downward. If the object starts out at rest, Vo is 0. If the object was initially propelled upward and is thus moving upward at time t=0, Vo is positive. If the object is already falling or is shot/pushed/pulled downward, Vo will be a negative number.
NOTE 2: the equation has to be modified by adding a drag factor if subject to substantial drag from the fluid (gas or liquid) it is falling through. In that case the equation gets more complicated.

What is the formula in finding the acceleration of an object?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
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 ...........
Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
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
How does gravity effect a falling object?
If there is no air resistance, gravity will accelerate the falling object, that is, it will change its velocity.
What is the formula in finding the acceleration of an object?
acceleration = change in velocity / time
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 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.
What is the most velocity of a falling object can get called?
terminal velocity
Does the velocity of a falling object increase or decrease?
Velocity increases
The largest velocity reached by falling object is its?
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.
