Assuming that it's flown well, the terminal velocity is just about the stall speed of the aircraft - between 80 and 150 mph.

If it's just falling out of the sky then it may exceed mach (aprox 750 mph).

What is the acceleration of an object that reache terminal velocity?

When an object reaches terminal velocity, its acceleration becomes zero. Terminal velocity occurs when the drag force acting on the object equals the force of gravity pulling it downwards, resulting in no net force and thus no acceleration.


Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?

No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.


What happens to an object acceleration as it goes from free fall to terminal velocity?

As an object falls freely, its acceleration remains constant at approximately 9.8 m/s^2 until it reaches terminal velocity. Once it reaches terminal velocity, the acceleration becomes zero as the forces acting on the object balance out, resulting in a constant velocity.


A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity During this 5 second interval her acceleration will?

increase- your speed will increase until terminal velocity is reached. From there it will stay constant.


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.

What is the acceleration of an object at terminal velocity?

zero


Why is acceleration zero when the body is moving with a constant velocity?

Acceleration is the CHANGE in velocity; you're assuming CONSTANT velocity. So the acceleration is zero.

Are the direction of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body the same?

For the most part, yes; once at terminal velocity, there is no acceleration, so it has direction.


What is the acceleration of falling object that has reached its terminal velocity?

Zero, by definition.

What is the greatest velocity a falling objecy reaches?

The greatest velocity, achieved when the acceleration due to gravity is balanced by the aerodynamic deceleration, is called the terminal velocity.


What is the greatest velocity an object reaches during free fall?

Assuming this is a free fall on the earth, the highest velocity an object in free fall can reach is 9.8 meters per second or 32 feet per second.answer 2. above is described the acceleration due to gravity on Earth.The Q asks for the Highest velocity. This is known as the Terminal Velocity.This depends upon buoyancy, air-resistance and so on. The terminal velocity of a Parachutist is much less than that of a rock. But Terminal Velocity is their greatest velocity.


Which has the greatest acceleration a 100-gram a 150 gram or a 200 gram?

None. Assuming they are falling with the same conditions, they accelerate equally. But the 200 gram object has the greatest terminal velocity therefore reaching a higher velocity before resting at a constant speed.
