What is terminal speed? When a skydiver has reached terminal speed, what is the are resistance equal to? What is the skydiver’s acceleration?

Respuesta :


Terminal speed is the speed at which the force from the weight of the object equals the force of air resistance, so the acceleration is zero. When a skydiver reaches terminal speed, the air resistance is equal to the force of weight of the skydiver. At terminal speed, the sky diver's acceleration is zero.
