Check the U joints first. If they're loose they could cause serious problems when they fail.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
at terminal velocity
at terminal velocity
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
at terminal velocity
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
"Terminal Velocity". Usually about 125 mph.
If we are talking about something in the Earth's atmosphere then No, the object will reach a thermal velocity after which the velocity remains constant. If we are talking about something falling where there is no atmosphere but still an attractive gravitational mass then yes.
terminal
The net force on a 7 pound object that is falling (accelerating down) is 7 pounds. If it is not falling or moving at a constant speed, it is zero.
Assuming the object is in free fall the only thing that can keep the object from accelerating in the opposing force of kinetic friction upward by air (known as air resistance).
it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air
