Terminal velocity is achieved when the force of gravity pulling an object downward is balanced by the drag force acting upward against it. As an object falls, it accelerates until the drag force increases with speed to equal the weight of the object. At this point, the net force becomes zero, and the object falls at a constant speed, known as terminal velocity. This speed varies depending on factors like the object's mass, shape, and the density of the fluid through which it falls.
What else can I help you with?
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has a?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
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 terminal velocity of a human?
Roughly 120 mph flat and stable. Head-down is much faster, but is not stable (it takes active control). Terminal velocity is when the gravity force upon an object is equal to that of the wind resistance.
When a falling object stops accelerating it has reached?
In that case, it is said to have achieved terminal velocity.
When will an object stop falling toward earth stop accelerating?
at terminal velocity
How would you use the word terminal velocity in a sentence?
We will reach terminal velocity just before we hit the ground, then the result of our velocity will be terminal.
What is the speed an on object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance called?
terminal velocity
Terminal velocity is achieved when an object?
Terminal velocity is achieved when an object falls through a fluid (such as air) at a constant speed due to the balancing of the gravitational force pulling it down and the drag force pushing it up. At this point, the object's acceleration becomes zero because the two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in direction.
What would have a higher terminal velocity a marble or a napkin?
The marble has lower drag so its terminal velocity would be greater. Each has its own terminal velocity.
What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?
The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object. For example, a sheet of paper will have a very low terminal velocity; the terminal velocity for a man will be much higher.
When did Terminal Velocity - video game - happen?
Terminal Velocity - video game - happened in 1995.
