Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.

What is the terminal velocity of a cream pie thrown by a human?
If it finds its mark, the terminal velocity is zero.
How fast can a man fall to earth from airplane?
The fastest rate a human can fall is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance. The normal terminal velocity of a human is around 125 miles per hour.
What is speed of terminal velocity?
For the Human Body, 124 mph (200 KPH).
What does a parachute do to terminal velocity?
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
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.
What Happens when a human reaches terminal velocity and lets say grabs a rope or ladder or ledge?
That will slow the human down.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
How do atoms pass their terminal velocity in a particle accelerator?
Passing the terminal velocity is clearly not possible, otherwise it could not be called the terminal velocity!
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
If air resistance is negligible then terminal velocity is the velocity of shock waves?
If resistance is negligible, then there is no terminal velocity.
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.
