No. Terminal velocity is a particular kind of velocity and friction is a particular kind of force. The terminal velocity of a falling object is the maximum velocity it can have because air resistance prevents it from going any faster. And air resistance is a type of friction. So terminal velocity is due to a type of friction.
What else can I help you with?
Why is terminal velocity an example of balanced forces?
When terminal velocity is reached, the gravitational force is balanced with the force of resistance.
What is the terminal velocity of body in a freely falling system?
Assuming the object starts at rest, it is zero. However, if the object is thrown upward or downward, its inital velocity will not be zero.
What is the difference between free fall and terminal velocity?
The difference between free fall and terminal velocity i that free fall is when an object is falling or descending through the air with little air resistance or drag. Terminal Velocity, on the other hand is when the resistance of air and the force of gravity balance each other out causing the object to reach a constant velocity. .
What happens to potential energy when jumping out a plane?
Elevational potential energy is converted to kinetic energy and heat in the air as air friction sets a terminal velocity. If a parachute is not used, some additional energy is lost with the associated screaming...
How are air resistance and friction alike?
Air resistance is a type of fluid friction (along with water resistance) and is therefore is a type of friction.
What does friction have to do with skydiving?
It determines your terminal velocity, depending on your drag coefficient.
What is the difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity?
The difference between terminal speed and terminal velocity is really simple. Terminal speed can be used to refer to the maximum speed an object can reach before factors like friction prevent anymore speed to be gained. Terminal velocity, however, generally refers to the rate at which this speed was gained.
When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
What is the net force on an objecting falling at terminal velocity?
"Terminal velocity" means the object no longer accelerates - forces are in equilibrium. Therefore, the net force is zero - gravitation is exactly offset by friction.
Is it true when air friction and gravity balanced each other the object reaches terminal velocity?
Yes
Why can friction make observing newton's first law of motion terminal velocity?
This question does not make sense
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
When falling objects no longer accelerate, they have reached terminal velocity. Terminal velocity is the constant speed achieved by an object when the force of air resistance matches the force of gravity acting upon it. At this point, the object stops accelerating and continues to fall at a constant speed.
How do you calculate the point that a dropped coffee filter hits its terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity on earth is static for all objects. A coffee filter being so light would have an effect on how much the friction slows it down, it would not however change its "terminal velocity" in a vacuum it would fall at the same rate as you or I. Approximately 120 MPH.
Does terminal speed and terminal velocity are the same?
Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
Is friction and upthrust are equal to thrust the cyclist moving at the terminal velocity?

How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
