Two balls of the same size and shape are dropped from a helicopter one ball has twice the mass of the other ball on which ball will the force of air resistance be greater when terminal velocity is?

the ball with the twice amount of mass will fall more quickly
than the one who has a normal size of mass
================================
Answer #2:
And now, to deal with the question:
-- The double-mass has twice the weight of the single-mass.
-- So it takes twice the force of air resistance to cause the double-mass
to stop accelerating.
I think this already answers the question. But we also know . . .
-- Since they're the same size and shape, the double-mass needs to fall faster
in order to build up twice the air resistance, so its terminal speed is greater
than the terminal speed of the single mass.

Is terminal velocity the same speed for any weight?
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 is the minimum velocity required to project a body from a height h so that it will not fall back on earth?
if it was a continuous velocity then 10mps i guess because that is the terminal velocity when an object is dropped this is another person who answer actuallyn you are wrong terminal velocity is the maximum
Will an object dropped on the moon reach a terminal velocity?
That varies, depending on the object. A massive object may take a long time to reach terminal velocity; a less massive object will reach terminal velocity faster. It basically depends on the object's mass, size, and shape.
Where on earth can a hammer and feather drop at the same speed?
Inside a safe dropped from a plane.If there were a very good vacuum to drop them in, it would be close. The air resistance of a feather limits its falling velocity more than the resistance on the hammer. When the drag caused by friction equals the weight of the object, it cannot continue to accelerate and falls at a speed called its terminal velocity.
The point at which an object is falling at the fastest it can go is called its velocity?
The velocity of a dropped and falling object goes on increasing due to acceleration due to gravity. It is given as v = gt So as t increases then velocity v also increases. Value of g is 9.8 m/s2

Ammo fired down terminal velocity compared to ammo dropped at high altitude?
Fired ammunition from a firearm reaches a much higher initial velocity due to explosive propellant forces. In contrast, ammunition dropped from a high altitude reaches a terminal velocity where gravity pulling down is balanced by air resistance pushing up. The fired bullet maintains its higher velocity until slowed by air resistance and gravity, while dropped ammunition reaches a constant speed due to these opposing forces.
When a pearl is dropped into a dense liquid it quickly acquires a uniform non accelerated motion downward why does this happen?
It accelerates quickly up to a low terminal velocity, then continues at constant velocity. At terminal speed, the downward force of gravity and the upward force of liquid resistance are in balance.

Can a person die from dropping a pillow from 40 thousand feet?
I'll assume that you mean having it dropped on him, and the answer is no. Terminal velocity is the speed at which a falling body no longer speeds up due to air resistance ... for a pillow that's slow.

Can cat fly if dropped high enough?
Cats have a terminal velocity that is not fatal if they fall. In fact, if cats are dropped high enough they will spread themselves out like a parachute.
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.
Is there a maximum speed an object can achieve if dropped from a great height and if so what is it?
Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity. At that speed, the air resistance (pulling up) would be in equilibrium with the gravitation (pulling down), so there is no further acceleration. The terminal velocity depends on the object's size and shape. In general, heavier objects will fall faster.Yes, that is known as the terminal velocity.

What is the velocity of all things fall in a vacuum?
You wouldn't notice the difference at a small level, balls dropped in air fall with the same acceleration as if in a vacuum - more or less. But when you start looking at things being dropped from a higher level, such as off buildings and planes, the air resistance comes into play, and increases as the speed increases. You get to a point where the force of the air resistance is the same as the acceleration - terminal velocity. If this was all in a vacuum, then things would carry on accelerating due to gravity or would at least not come accross this air resistance if were looking at other things accelerating.
