Sentence for terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity is the constant speed reached by an object falling through the atmosphere when the force of gravity is balanced by air resistance.


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.


What is the speed of an object that has reached terminal velocity?

Terminal velocity is the constant speed that an object reaches when the force of gravity is balanced by the force of air resistance. The speed at terminal velocity depends on the mass and shape of the object, as well as atmospheric conditions.


What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?

The velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches the force of gravity is called the terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and falls at a constant speed. The exact value of terminal velocity depends on the object's size, shape, and mass, as well as air density and viscosity.


A skydiver steps from a helicopter and falls for 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity During this 5 second interval her acceleration will?

Initially be positive as she accelerates towards her terminal velocity, then decrease as she approaches terminal velocity, eventually reaching zero once she hits terminal velocity.
