Q

what is terminal velocity?

A

when the speed of an object increases the air resistance increases too, for a falling object the air resistance will increase until it is equal to that objects weight, now the total force is 0, thus acceleration is 0, meaning that the object has reached its maximum velocity, terminal velocity.
