I think it depends on the distance it is falling from. The longer it falls the more momentum it gains.
_________
The idea is called 'terminal velocity'. For a skydiver in the typical flat open position (to maximize drag) the terminal velocity is about 195 mph. Where objects can fall in vacuum, there is no termal velocity, except for the moment of impact with the body responsible for the gravitational field, at which time velocity and acceleration both 'terminate'. But on earth, the atmosphere causes drag, and at some point a falling object may accelerate enough so that atmospheric drag counteracts acceleration. Terminal velocity will be different from object to object, because of the characteristics of the object that would increase or minimize drag. In the head-down position, competition skydivers can reach speeds higher than 600 mph.
What else can I help you with?
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Does rain reach terminal velocity?
No, raindrops do not reach terminal velocity because they are too small and have a low enough mass that air resistance slows them down before they can reach their maximum falling speed. Terminal velocity is typically reached by larger objects like skydivers or hailstones.
Does the speed of an object in air continue to increase until it hits the ground?
It depends on how high it is when it start falling. If it is high enough, it will reach its terminal velocity and stop accelerating before it hits the ground. As an object is falling, it has to push through air below it. The faster it falls, the greater the air resistance (or drag) to the object. At some point, the amount of air resistance will be equal to the pull of gravity (its weight) and it will not be able to go any faster. We call this its terminal velocity, the maximum speed it can reach as it is falling through air. A larger or wider object will have more drag than a smaller object of the same weight and will have different maximum speeds. That is why a person falling from a plane with a parachute will stop going faster after the parachute opens and the drag increases because of the shape of the open parachute.
True or False terminal velocity is the velocity a speeding object reaches when it crashes?
Technically, its false.... Terminal Velocity is defined as "the constant maximum velocity reached by an object falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity". The crash is simple a result of and the conclusion to the fall....
When will an object stop falling toward earth stop accelerating?
at terminal velocity
What is the maximum speed a cat can reach when falling from a great height, also known as its terminal velocity?
The maximum speed a cat can reach when falling from a great height, also known as its terminal velocity, is around 60 miles per hour.
When was Falling Out of Reach created?
Falling Out of Reach was created in 2007.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
Can a cat survive terminal velocity?
No, a cat cannot survive terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed an object can reach while falling through the air. The impact would be fatal to the cat.
Define consumer equilibrium?
It is atime when a person reach the maximum point of satisfaction after consume more a certain commodity at a time.
What is the maximum value that the cumulative GPA out of 4 can reach?
The maximum value that a cumulative GPA out of 4 can reach is 4.

What is the terminal velocity of cats?
The terminal velocity of a cat is around 60 miles per hour, which is the speed at which they reach maximum falling velocity due to air resistance balancing out the force of gravity.
