Mechanics - Terminal Velocity

Question 1

What is terminal velocity?

Answer 1

when the resistive force is equal to the driving force or force causing the movement

Question 2

What usually stays the same and what usually increases

Answer 2

driving force stays the same

friction increases

Question 3

How can we limit the effect of terminal velocity?

Answer 3

increasing driving force
or
reducing frictional force

Question 4

Good examples of something reaching terminal velocity?

Answer 4

• things falling through the air or fluid as object is constantly accelerating downwards and resistive forces increase with greater speed
