yes. also called terminal velocity.
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
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.
Raindrops falling under gravity do not gain very high velocity due to air resistance. As raindrops fall through the atmosphere, they experience a force opposite to their direction of motion, which slows them down. The balance between gravity and air resistance limits the maximum velocity that raindrops can achieve.
The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
terminal velocity
When a falling object stops accelerating but is falling at a constant velocity, it is called terminal velocity.
When air resistance and gravity are equal, it is known as terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, an object falling through the air no longer accelerates but rather falls at a constant speed due to the balance between air resistance and gravity.
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.
The maximum velocity reached by a falling object when the resistance of the medium is equal to the force due to gravity is called terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and reaches a constant speed as the drag force balances out the force of gravity acting on the object.

Raindrops falling under gravity do not gain very high velocity due to air resistance. As raindrops fall through the atmosphere, they experience a force opposite to their direction of motion, which slows them down. The balance between gravity and air resistance limits the maximum velocity that raindrops can achieve.
The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance on the object matches the force of gravity pulling it down, resulting in a constant speed.
Based on the 9th grade book of Physical Science... Gravity is a force that acts between two masses, and Terminal velocity is the constant velocity of a falling object when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity. So, gravity causes objects to accelerate downward, whereas air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion and reduces acceleration... which ties together terminal velocity.
