The final speed of an object in free fall is known as terminal velocity. Terminal velocity on Earth can range from 54 meters per second (in SI units) to 90 meters per second based on aerodynamics.

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 potentail energy have an influence on the final velocity of a falling object?
yes it does. u can calculate the final velocity of the falling object with the following eqn: initial potential energy= final kinetic energy or mgh = 1/2mv2 where m=mass, h = height,v=final velocity
How does air resistance affect fallig objects?
terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.
What is the velocity of a freely falling object 6 seconds after being dropped?
The acceleration of gravity is 9.8 meters/sec2 .After 6 seconds, the object's speed is (6 x 9.8) = 58.8 meters/sec .It's velocity is 58.8 meters per second downward.
Do Two objects of different masses freely fall with same momentum?
No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.

If an object is accelerating what equation relates the distance traveled by that object to the initial velocity final velocity and time?
Final velocity = Initial velocity +(acceleration * time)
How do you find final Velocity of an object?
The final velocity is (the initial velocity) plus (the acceleration multiplied by the time).
Do Two objects of different masses freely fall with same momentum?
No.....because we need both mass and velocity to find the momentum if velocity is same that is 9.8m/s that is of free falling bodies.........mass will effect the final result.
What is the relationship of height of a free falling object in terms of final velocity and its time of fall?
The height where from the body is dropped ie h is given as h = v2 / 2g and h = (1/2) g t2 v is the final velocity and t is time of falling g = acceleration due to gravity
How do you find acceleration falling object with only speed and distance?
a = (v2 - u2)/2s where a is the acceleration between the initial point in time and the final point in time, u is the initial velocity v is the final velocity s is the distance travelled
If an object is accelerating what equation relates the acceleration of that object the initial velocity and the final velocity and time?
Vf = Vi + at Where Vf = final velocity Vi = initial velocity a = acceleration t = time
What causes a freely falling object to stop acclerating and continue to fall at its final velocity?
The answer lies in air resistance, which sets a limit, the so-called terminal velocity, on the speed of a falling object. Air resistance creates drag, a real physical phenomenon associated with objects moving through a fluid. You experience drag riding a bike. Imagine how much drag is on a jet airliner! A boat is affected by drag moving through water. Aerodynamics and hydrodynamics address these issues.
If final velocity is greater than initial velocity an object is?
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
