Why do skydivers reach terminal velocity?

Skydivers reach terminal velocity because as they fall, the force of gravity pulling them downward is balanced by air resistance pushing upward. At terminal velocity, these forces are equal, so the skydiver stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.


Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?

No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.


Does rain reach terminal velocity?

No, raindrops do not reach terminal velocity because they are too small and have a low enough mass that air resistance slows them down before they can reach their maximum falling speed. Terminal velocity is typically reached by larger objects like skydivers or hailstones.


Do all skydivers fall at the same speed?

No, skydivers fall at different speeds depending on their body position and weight. However, experienced skydivers often aim for a terminal velocity of around 120 mph (193 km/h) to maximize their control and safety during freefall.


How high do you have to be to reach terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object reaches when falling through a fluid (such as air) due to balance between gravity and air resistance. The exact height you need to reach to achieve terminal velocity varies depending on factors like your weight, body position, and the specific characteristics of the air around you. In a general sense, skydivers typically reach terminal velocity within about 10-12 seconds of freefall from an altitude of around 12,000 feet.


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 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.


What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?

terminal velocity


How fast do skydivers fall through the the air?

A skydiver, falling without an open parachute, will reach a terminal velocity of approx 200 km per hour (55 metres/second).


What would have a higher terminal velocity a marble or a napkin?

The marble has lower drag so its terminal velocity would be greater. Each has its own 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.


When did Terminal Velocity - video game - happen?

Terminal Velocity - video game - happened in 1995.
