Typically the ground.
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
When a falling object stops speeding up and falls at a constant rate of speed, it has reached its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, resulting in a balanced and constant downward acceleration.
When the drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed due to the balance between these two forces.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called 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.
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the constant maximum velocity reached by an object when the drag force is equal in magnitude and opposite in direction to the gravitational force acting on the object.
When a falling object reaches its terminal velocity, its acceleration becomes zero. The downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance, resulting in no overall acceleration.
Terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by an object falling through a fluid, when the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force. The object stops accelerating and falls at a steady velocity. Terminal velocity depends on the mass, size, and shape of the object and the properties of the fluid it is falling through.
It does continue falling, until it runs into something that stops it, like the ground.
When air resistance balances the weight of an object that is falling, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object falls at a constant speed without accelerating further due to the opposing forces being balanced.
Zero, by definition.
