That depends on the weight and shape of the object that's falling,

but it has nothing to do with the length of the fall.

What is terminal velocity for a mouse?

The terminal velocity for a mouse is estimated to be around 10 mph (16 kph). This means that when a mouse falls from a height, it will reach a maximum speed of about 10 mph before air resistance balances the force of gravity.


What is the velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 feet and seconds?

The initial velocity of the ball is 16 feet per second when thrown upward. The velocity decreases as the ball travels upward due to gravity until it reaches its peak and starts to fall back down.


A 180 lb person jumps from 16 story building how fast do they fall?

32 feet per second per second is the standard acceleration.As the object accelerates (usually downwards due to gravity), the drag force acting on the object increases. At a particular speed, the drag force produced will be equal to the downward force, mostly the weight (mg), of the object. Eventually, it plummets at a constant speed called terminal velocity (also called settling velocity). Terminal velocity varies directly with the ratio of drag to weight. More drag means a lower terminal velocity, while increased weight means a higher terminal velocity. An object moving downward at greater than terminal velocity (for example because it was affected by a force downward or it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere or it changed shape) will slow until it reaches the terminal velocity. For example, the terminal velocity of a skydiver in a free-fall position with a semi-closed parachute is about 195 km/h (120 mph or 55m/s).[1] This velocity is the asymptotic limiting value of the acceleration process, since the effective forces on the body more and more closely balance each other as the terminal velocity is approached. In this example, a speed of 50% of terminal velocity is reached after only about 3 seconds, while it takes 8 seconds to reach 90%, 15 seconds to reach 99% and so on. Higher speeds can be attained if the skydiver pulls in his limbs (see also freeflying). In this case, the terminal velocity increases to about 320 km/h (200 mph or 89 m/s),[1] which is also the maximum speed of the peregrine falcon diving on its prey.[2] Competition speed skydivers fly in the head down position reaching even higher speeds. The current world record is 614 mph (988 km/h) by Joseph Kittinger, set at high altitude where the lesser density of the atmosphere decreased drag.[1] An object falling on Earth will fall 9.80 meters per second faster every second (9.8 m/s²). The reason an object reaches a terminal velocity is that the drag force resisting motion is directly proportional to the square of its speed. At low speeds, the drag is much less than the gravitational force and so the object accelerates. As it accelerates, the drag increases, until it equals the weight. Drag also depends on the projected area. This is why things with a large projected area, such as parachutes, have a lower terminal velocity than small objects such as cannon balls.

How much time will it take for the coin to hit the ground -16 plus 96 plus 112?

The answer depends on its initial velocity and the height from which its fall to the ground is measured.


What is the velocity of a ball thrown upward at 16 feet per second?

The velocity of the ball will decrease as it moves upward due to gravity acting against it. At the highest point of its trajectory, the velocity will briefly be zero before it begins to fall back down.
