Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.
What else can I help you with?
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).
How does the weight of an object relate to how fast it falls with a parachute?
The weight of an object affects how quickly it can reach its terminal velocity when falling with a parachute. Heavier objects typically reach terminal velocity faster than lighter objects due to the greater force of gravity acting on them. However, once both objects reach terminal velocity, they will fall at the same constant speed regardless of their weight.
Is terminal velocity depends on mass of object?
No, terminal velocity does not depend on the mass of the object. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object can reach when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of drag. This means that all objects, regardless of their mass, will eventually reach the same terminal velocity in a given medium.
Should the terminal velocity of two different size spheres be the same?
No, the terminal velocity of two different size spheres will not be the same. Terminal velocity is influenced by the size, shape, and weight of an object. Larger spheres are likely to reach a higher terminal velocity than smaller ones due to differences in air resistance.
What is it called when air resistance and gravity are the same?
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.

When an object reaches terminal velocity and there is no net force what is the initial force that got it going to keep it in motion?
Gravity. The object starts at zero velocity, and gravity always pulls the same. Drag, however, increases when velocity increases. Terminal velocity is when gravity has accelerated the object to the speed where drag is the same as gravity.
Does Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes. - And please don't combine "does" and "is" in the same question that way.
Is terminal velocity the same in water as in air?
no
How is speed and velocity the same?
No, they are not the same! Velocity involves the speed and the direction of the moving object...
What kind of speed does a moving object have when the velocity stays the same?
same speed , coz velocity is constant velocity consists of speed and direction...
Does average velocity and average speed have the same number?
velocity is a vector and speed is scalar. Velocity has magnitude and directions, with magnitude being speed. The magnitude of average velocity and average speed is the same.
How do the resistance and the weight of a falling object compare when terminal speed is reached?
Air resistance doesn't change with weight. It changes with speed and shape. More speed, more air resistance. If the shape has a lot of surface are to drag the air, it is more resistant, but this factor does not change with weight or speed. This is why terminal velocity is possible. As the object falls, its speed increases, so its resistance increases also, because resistance depends directly on speed. But as this resistance is increasing, the gravity is staying the same. So, eventually, resistance catches up with gravity and cancels it out, causing an end to acceleration, or constant speed.
