Q1
When does terminal velocity exist?
When the speed of a moving object is no longer increasing or decreasing; the object’s acceleration (or deceleration) is zero.
Q2
What is terminal velocity?
Terminal velocity is defined as the highest velocity attained by an object that is falling through a fluid.
Q3
Who discovered terminal velocity?
Galileo discovered terminal velocity.
Q4
Does terminal velocity exist in a vacuum?
In vacuum since there is no drag force, the terminal velocity does not exist.
Q5
How does terminal velocity work?
Terminal velocity, steady speed achieved by an object freely falling through a gas or liquid. An object dropped from rest will increase its speed until it reaches terminal velocity; an object forced to move faster than its terminal velocity will, upon release, slow down to this constant velocity.
