Terminal velocity

Cards (2)

  • In what situation does terminal velocity occur?
    -Free fall from the sky as this is the only point where there is sufficient time to reach maximum speed via gravitational pull
  • What is terminal velocity?
    -Terminal Velocity is where when freefalling the gravitational pull equals the force upwards therefore resultant force = 0 and speed stays constant. Short term = Hitting a constant speed whilst freefalling
