What is downward velocity?
Downward velocity refers to the speed at which an object is falling towards the ground or moving in a downward direction. It is commonly measured in units such as meters per second or feet per second. A positive downward velocity indicates the object is accelerating downward, while a negative velocity means the object is moving upward.
Why at the highest point is the change in velocity zero?
At the highest point in a projectile's motion, the velocity is zero because it has come to a momentary stop before starting to fall back down due to gravity. This is the point where the vertical velocity changes direction from upward to downward.
Velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance exactly matches the downward force of gravity is called?
Terminal velocity.
When the skydiver steps out of the helicopter someone who's watching starts a stopwatch. So the time is zero as the skydiver steps out of the plane. What is the skydiver's downward velocity at that?
At the moment the skydiver exits the helicopter, their downward velocity is initially zero. As they fall due to gravity, their velocity will increase over time.
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal the object reaches?
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal, the object reaches terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
What is the skydiver's downward velocity at that instant just before starting to fall?
The same as that of the aircraft that he /she is in. If flying level, it would be zero.
What is downward velocity?
Downward velocity refers to the speed at which an object is falling towards the ground or moving in a downward direction. It is commonly measured in units such as meters per second or feet per second. A positive downward velocity indicates the object is accelerating downward, while a negative velocity means the object is moving upward.
Downward velocity is considered a negative. true or false?
Downward velocity is considered a negative. This is a true statement.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistence matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
terminal velocity

When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal, the object reaches terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object or changes its direction is called an?
Terminal Velocity.
Are the directions of the velocity and acceleration of a falling body the same?
Yes, both are directed downward.
When a person skydives from very high distance does the speed in which they are falling continue to increase the entire way down?
After about 10 seconds you reach terminal velocity your speed remains constant till the parachute opens.
What is the greatest velocity a fallingobject reaches?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called terminal velocity. It occurs when the force of gravity pulling the object downward is balanced by the force of air resistance pushing upward. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed with no further acceleration.
