Question: The greatest velocity at which an object will fall is called terminal velocity. This occurs when the downward force of gravity is equal in magnitude

  • The greatest velocity at which an object will fall is called terminal velocity. This occurs when the downward force of gravity is equal in magnitude to the upward force caused by air resistance. 

  • a. Label force arrows on the free-body diagram of an object falling at its terminal velocity as shown to the right. 

  • b. Calculate the force due to air resistance for a 2.00 kg mass falling at its terminal velocity.
