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.
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.
What causes falling objects to reach top velocity?
Falling objects reach top velocity due to the acceleration of gravity pulling them downwards. As the object falls, the force of gravity causes it to accelerate until air resistance (or another opposing force) balances out the acceleration, leading to a constant velocity known as terminal velocity.
Is terminal velocity the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes, terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, causing it to no longer accelerate. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed without further acceleration.
Does Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes. - And please don't combine "does" and "is" in the same question that way.

What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance on the object matches the force of gravity pulling it down, resulting in a constant speed.
Is terminal velocity the highest velocity that a falling object will reach?
Yes, terminal velocity is the highest velocity that a falling object will reach when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, causing it to no longer accelerate. At terminal velocity, the object falls at a constant speed without further acceleration.

What is the terminal velocity of water and how does it impact the motion of objects falling through it?
The terminal velocity of water is the maximum speed at which an object can fall through water due to the resistance of the water. It impacts the motion of objects falling through water by slowing them down until they reach a constant speed where the force of gravity is balanced by the resistance of the water.
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.
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.
Is it ok if falling objects are not exactly 9.8?
Objects in freefall only accelerate at 9.8m/s2 if air resistance is ignored. Because friction will gradually cause a falling object to reach terminal velocity, most objects won't accelerate at exactly 9.8m/s2.
How long does it take to reach terminal velocity when falling from a height?
Terminal velocity is typically reached within 10-12 seconds when falling from a height, depending on factors such as air resistance and the height of the fall.
Is terminal velocity depends on mass of object?
No, terminal velocity does not depend on the mass of the object. Terminal velocity is the maximum speed an object can reach when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of drag. This means that all objects, regardless of their mass, will eventually reach the same terminal velocity in a given medium.
