terminal velocity
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity is the term that refers to the speed at which a falling object stops accelerating and falls at a constant rate due to a balance between air resistance and gravitational force.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
Terminal velocity is the term that refers to the speed at which a falling object stops accelerating and falls at a constant rate due to the balancing of air resistance and gravitational force.
When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.
A skydiver falls with a constant speed, known as terminal velocity, after opening their parachute because the force of gravity pulling them down is balanced by the drag force from the air resistance acting against their fall. Once the parachute is deployed, it increases the surface area, significantly enhancing air resistance. When these two forces equalize, the skydiver stops accelerating and descends at a steady speed. This balance between gravitational force and air resistance is what stabilizes the descent.
A falling object stops accelerating when it reaches its terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed it can reach due to air resistance. At this point, the force of gravity pulling the object downwards is balanced by the force of air resistance pushing upwards, resulting in a constant velocity.
Critical velocity is the speed that a falling object reaches when gravity and air resistance equalize on the object.when a liquid posses streamlined motion and its velocity is less than certain limiting velocity is called critical velocity for fluids and critical velocity for satellites can be defined as the velocity will give stable orbit, this is called the critical velocity for satellites
Accelerating...or was accelerating.
When a falling object has stopped accelerating, it has reached its terminal velocity. At this point, the force of air resistance acting on the object is equal to the force of gravity pulling it downward, resulting in a balanced force and a constant velocity.
An object is accelerating if its velocity is changing.
