Does the body falling to the earth travel at the same speed from the very beginning of its travel?

No. Its speed keeps increasing as it falls.


How does drag work?

Drag force, or the force of air friction for a falling body, increases with speed. A falling object will reach a speed at which the force of air friction will be equal to and opposite the force of gravity. At that point, the object will no longer accelerate. It's speed will remain constant, and we call that speed (and direction) its terminal velocity.


What happens when a falling object stops?

It suddenly stops and hits wherever it's landing. ---------------------------------------------- When a falling object stops accelerating then the body would continue moving with the speed attained. This speed is known as terminal speed. This is what happens when a rain drop falls from a large height through the atomosphere.

When a body falls freelyto the ground its motion has uniform motion?

No. "Uniform motion" means motion at a constant speed in a straight line. But the speed of a body falling freely to the ground is continuously increasing, in response to the force of gravity.


The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?

The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.


Why are astronants weightless in space?

The astronaut, space ship and everything in it are all falling at the same speed (falling around the Earth is called ORBIT). If everything is falling at the same speed, they are effectively weightless. Its like falling in an elevator, if everything is falling at the same speed you will appear to be floating around the elevator. Until it reaches the basement.


Two different masses are they falling at the same speed?

they arent falling at the same speed because gravity is stronger with a heavier object


Which term refers to the speed at which a falling objects stops accelerating and begins to fall at a constant rate?

Its terminal velocity.that is the drag force on the body because of air and gravitational force on the body becomes equal and the body starts fee falling with a constant velocity,it may differ for each bodies according to mass and area of cross section of the body,density of fluid in which the body is moving.


How are height distance and speed related?

Now, this is in very....basic. It also may not be 100% correct. The higher up you are, the more distance you fall. The more distance you fall, the faster you go. You peak at a certain speed, and will continue falling at that speed once it is reached. The max speed differs in the amount of weight falling. (Proven by an Egg falling, or a Feather falling.)


How do you find the speed of an object falling with distance and time?

Speed = distance / time.


How fast is the acceleration of a falling body?

if body is free falling state its acceleration would be 9.8meter/second2
