Terminal Velocity is the speed that a falling object achieves when the drag forces that occur from air resistance are equal to the gravitational forces acting on the object.

How does friction and gravity affect skateboarding?
By slowing it down or speeding it up.
When an object is speeding up or slowing down or turning what is it called?
Force greater than gravity
What is positive and negative acceleration?
Positive acceleration = speeding up. Negative acceleration = slowing down.
What are the main forces acting on falling rock?
Gravity and air resistance.
How do the hang gliders jump off the cliff without falling?
The surface area of the glider counteracts the force of gravity - slowing the persons descent.
A ball falling through the air has?
acceleration due to gravity acting on it, which causes it to increase in speed as it falls. The force of air resistance also acts on the ball, gradually slowing it down. Eventually, the ball reaches terminal velocity, where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance and the ball falls at a constant speed.
What are 3 forms of accelration?
-- speeding up -- slowing down -- curving
What is Acceleartion?
acceleration is changes in speed slowing down and speeding up.
When a broom falls does it accelerate or decelerate?
The falling motion of the broom is the acceleration of the broom The broom hitting the floor and slowing down is the deceleration of the broom. Remember, acceleration is the speeding up and deceleration is the slowing down (De is the Latin root meaning down, so down in speed/ decreasing in speed...)
What are the two ways that a roller coaster can accelerate?
Slowing down and Speeding up
Why is your video speeding up and slowing down?
If you are saying about internet , it is because of your speed.
What is meant by terminal velocity of a falling object?
The terminal velocity of a falling object is the constant speed where the force of gravity is equal to the force of drag. Then the forces cancel each other out. Essentially, terminal velocity is when the speed of a falling object is no longer changing. It isn't accelerating or slowing. It's constant.
