What is the maximum terminal velocity on planet Jupiter?

There is no such thing as "maximum terminal velocity", neither on Jupiter nor hear on Earth. The "terminal velocity" depends on the specific object - and on the atmospheric conditions. For example, a very heavy object will typically have a larger terminal velocity than one that is very light; and near Earth's surface, the terminal velocity (for a given object) will be smaller than in the upper atmosphere, where there is less air resistance.


What is theMaximum velocity reached by an object when the force of gravity pulling down dispels the force of air resistance pulling up?

Terminal velocity. It will vary from planet to planet (or Moon, if it's one with an atmosphere, like Titan)


What is the maximum terminal velocity speed for a object falling on planet Jupiter?

There is not one single answer for that. The terminal velocity of an object will depend on the amount of gravity (which wouldn't change much in this case), on the density of the atmosphere (which WILL change quite a bit, depending on what part of the atmosphere you are considering), and on the object's mass, size, and shape.


Greatest velocity a falling object reaches?

On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.


What planet is the highest temperature is our solar system?

Planet with an atmosphere, Venus. Planet without an atmosphere, Mercury (on the day side).


Could you ever live on the planet mars?

Without a suit? No, the planet's atmosphere is thin and without oxygen.


What is the biggest planet with no gases?

If you mean what is the biggest planet without an atmosphere, then the answer would be Mercury.


What factor determines whether a planet has a atmosphere?

The factors that determine whether a planet has an atmosphere or not are mass and temperature. Not exactly... There are two main factors that determine whether a planet can develop and keep an atmopshere and they are the escape velocity of the planet (how fast the object has to go to escape the gravitational pull) and the speed of the molecules in the atmosphere. For example the escape velocity for earth is about 11km/s (25,ooomph) Other factors include proximity to a larger body that can will steal the atmosphere away, and distance to the sun which produces solar wind that can literally blow the atmosphere away.


Does planet mercury have clouds or rings around it?

It has neither, it is just a rocky planet without an atmosphere


What outer planet without a thick atmosphere is?

The answer is Pluto. I found this on wicapedia.:)


Does free-fall acceleration vary on other planets?

Yep. So would terminal velocity in free-fall. It would depend entirely on the gravity of the planet.


What Is the terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere?

The terrestrial planet that has no atmosphere is Mercury. Its thin atmosphere consists mainly of trace amounts of oxygen, sodium, hydrogen, helium, and potassium, and is not enough to be considered a true atmosphere.
