Question

Q.4. What is terminal velocity?

​

Answer 1

Answer:

the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium through which it is falling prevents further acceleration

Answer 2

Answer:

When a spherical body falls through a viscous fluid, it experiences a viscous force. The magnitude of viscous force increases with the increase in velocity of the falling body under the action of its weight. As a result, the viscous force soon balances the driving force (weight of the body) and the body starts moving with a constant velocity known as its terminal velocity.
