When a falling object stops speeding up and falls at a constant rate of speed that object has reached its?
terminal speed
A falling object that has reached its terminal speed continues to gain what?
neither speed nor acceleration
Is there a maximum speed of a free falling object?
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
What is the fastest speed reached by an object falling through the air called?
This is called "terminal velocity". When the drag (friction) caused by the air is equal to the force of gravitational acceleration, the object stops increasing in speed. This is directly related to the area of the object, which determines the air resistance.
What increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed

What two-word term is the top speed reached by a free-falling object?
terminal velocity
The gratest velocity a falling objects reaches?
The greatest speed a falling object is known as its terminal velocity. At this speed, the drag force from the air is equal to the object's weight, and so there is no net force to accelerate the object further.

yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object

What is the fastest free falling object known to man-is it a rain drop which is liquid or a solid object like a bb?
Everything falls at the same speed so there is no free falling object If everything falls at the same speed then everything is a free falling object... Air resistance or deflection controls the falling speed of any object, this crucial stipulation determines falling speed. I leanred this in flight school.. please someone intelligent communicate with me?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
The greatest velocity that a falling object can achieve is termed, terminal velocity. The equation for terminal velocity is equal to the square root of (2mg / (air density * projected area * drag coefficient))
What increases As an object falls freely in a vacuum?
the object's falling speed
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 you find the speed of an object falling with distance and time?
Speed = distance / time.
What is the acceleration of a falling object that has reached it's terminal velocity?
Since the direction of the motion remains constant throughout the free fall, once the speed also becomes constant, the acceleration is zero.
