What is terminal velocity and how does it apply universally to all objects falling through a medium?
Terminal velocity is the maximum speed that an object reaches when falling through a medium, like air or water, due to the balance between gravity pulling it down and air resistance pushing against it. This concept applies universally to all objects falling through a medium, as they will eventually reach a constant speed where the force of gravity is equal to the force of air resistance.

What is the terminal velocity of falling objects in water?
Terminal velocity of falling objects in water depends on the object's shape, size, and density, as well as the water's viscosity. Generally, small objects like spheres have lower terminal velocities due to less drag, while larger or less streamlined objects will have higher terminal velocities. The terminal velocity is reached when the force of gravity on the object is balanced by the drag force acting in the opposite direction.
What is the terminal velocity of a falling object on earth?
An object that has reached its terminal velocity is going at a constant velocity. Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity. The rate of change is zero. Therefore, the acceleration is zero.
The speed when falling objects no longer accelerates due to air resistance is?
known as terminal velocity, which is reached when the force of gravity pulling the object downwards is balanced by the upward force of air resistance. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed with no further acceleration.
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 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.

When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the objects stop accelerating its velocity is called the?
terminal velocity
How can a falling objects momentum be affected to take it past terminal velocity?
The only two ways to increase the speed of an object beyond its terminal velocity is to either reduce its drag, or increase the force causing it to fall. The speed of a falling object can be accelerated beyond terminal velocity, but absent a continuing force, and given enough time, it will eventually slow down to its terminal velocity.
What is it called when a falling objects stops accelerating?
it stops accelerating at terminal velocity due to the air
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.
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches?
The greatest velocity that a falling object can achieve is termed, terminal velocity. The equation for terminal velocity is equal to the square root of (2mg / (air density * projected area * drag coefficient))

What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
The point at which an object is falling at the fastest it can go is called its velocity?
When objects fall gravity causes them to increase their speed. The speed would continue to increase if there was no atmosphere. But the atmosphere causes friction which prevents the object from continually increasing its speed. At some point in the fall the object reaches what is called its "terminal velocity". This is the maximum speed it reaches when the frictional force prevents it from going any faster. The terminal velocity of falling objects depends on their shape and mass so it is different for different objects. Also some objects take a long time to reach their terminal velocity so they have to be dropped from very high up in order to have time to reach terminal velocity before hitting the ground.
