Terminal velocity. It occurs when the force of gravity is equal to the force applied by air resistance in the opposite direction. With equal and opposite forces the object can not accelerate and falls at a constant speed. Every object has a different terminal velocity and depending on the surface area, can also be manipulated
What else can I help you with?
What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance on the object matches the force of gravity pulling it down, resulting in a constant speed.
Is terminal velocity the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes, terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, causing it to no longer accelerate. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed without further acceleration.
Does Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes. - And please don't combine "does" and "is" in the same question that way.
Why can an object falling in an vacuum never reach terminal velocity?
In a vacuum, there is no air resistance to oppose the motion of the falling object, so there is no force acting to limit its acceleration and reach terminal velocity. As a result, the object will continue to accelerate indefinitely as it falls through the vacuum.
What causes a falling object to reach terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity occurs when the force of gravity pulling an object down is equal to the air resistance pushing up against it. At this point, the object stops accelerating and maintains a constant velocity. This happens when the drag force on the object becomes large enough to balance out the downward force of gravity.
When will an object stop falling toward earth stop accelerating?
at terminal velocity
How does height affect the velocity of a falling body?
A falling object accelerates at a rate of 9.8 m/s2. That means that for every second that it is falling, its velocity increases by 9.8 m/s. The higher that the object is falling from, the longer it will have to speed up, thus the higher its velocity upon impact will be. (This is assuming that it does not reach terminal velocity, the velocity at which an object can no longer accelerate because it is travelling so fast that the drag force (air resistance) is equal to the force of gravity.)
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Why can't a object falling in a vacuum ever reach terminal velocity?
There is no drag in a vacuum to act against the acceleration.
True or False terminal velocity is the velocity a speeding object reaches when it crashes?
Technically, its false.... Terminal Velocity is defined as "the constant maximum velocity reached by an object falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity". The crash is simple a result of and the conclusion to the fall....
What is the greastest velocityof a falling object?
The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is known as its terminal velocity, which occurs when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object. This value depends on factors such as the object's size, shape, and weight. Terminal velocities for common objects are typically around 120 mph (193 km/h).
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
Yes. When the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the falling object, the net force on the object becomes zero, causing it to reach terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
