Want this question answered?
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is the maximum falling velocity.
yes, and the speed depends on the weight of the object
Two objects falling at the same time will fall with the same speed (assuming they both have similar shape and density)
terminal velocity is the final maximum velocity of a falling object.
it all depends on the object

The fastest that anything can go is the speed of light in a vacuum.

The mass of a falling object will affect the speed at which it falls. Additionally, the shape or geometryof that object will also have an effect. The shape of a falling object will have a dramatic effect on the amount of dragthat the object will experience. Consider that a flat piece of cardboard will fall more slowly than a glass ball of the same mass, and it will be more easy to visualize how drag is a function of shape.=======================================Beulah the Buzzer gagged on the first sentence of the response above, andSignor Galileo rotated 2pi in his crypt.The mass of a falling object will NOT affect the speed at which it falls.The remainder of the response above is correct and well stated, provided onlythat the objects are falling through air. If not, then neither their shape nor theirgeometry affects their rate of fall either.
Galileo's experiment to show that mass had little effect on the speed of falling objects involved two cannonballs of different sizes being dropped from a certain height. This showed that, in a vacuum at least, falling objects fall at the same speed no matter their mass.
A falling object will continue to accelerate when free falling, but each object has a maximum speed which it can reach (but go no faster than this speed) when free falling from great heights. True.
Galileo
Falling objects increase their speed as they fall, because their weight (the force of gravity) pulls them to Earth. ... Objects fall faster until they reach their terminal speed, which is reached when the upward (air resistance) and downward (weight)forcesare equal.
