Does a larger sphere have a higher terminal velocity?
No it would have a lower terminal velocity as there would be more air resistance acting upon it
What does a parachute do to terminal velocity?
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
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.
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.

How will an object size and mass affect its terminal velocity?
The terminal velocity of a falling object depends upon its aerodynamics (which is to say, its shape) rather than its size and mass.
How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
What does the word independent means in science?
Independent means that it is a variable that is unaffected by other variables. For example, in terms of acceleration, velocity is the dependent variable, and time is the independent variable. Velocity is dependent upon time, but time is not dependent upon velocity. Of course, technically speaking, this is only for nonrelativistic scenarios. If velocity is extreme (near the speed of light) time IS affected by velocity in spacetime. But, that's a different issue.
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.
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.
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.
If air resistance is negligible then terminal velocity is the velocity of shock waves?
If resistance is negligible, then there is no terminal velocity.
