Examples of 'terminal velocity' in a sentence

Meaning of "terminal velocity"

Terminal velocity is the highest speed that a falling object can reach when the resistance forces of the surrounding medium balance out the force of gravity. When an object falls through a fluid medium, such as air or water, it accelerates until it reaches a point where the drag force equals the gravitational force. At this point, the object's speed becomes constant, and it is said to have reached its terminal velocity
Show more definitions
  • The speed at which an object in free-fall and not in a vacuum ceases to accelerate downwards because the force of gravity is equal and opposite to the drag force acting against it.
