How does terminal velocity work?

How does terminal velocity work? The terminal velocity of an object is the speed at which the force of drag equals the force of gravity on that object.

A great video with good commentary and explained very simply. Good Work.

[coltmmsecurity]

Excellent explanation. Simple and to the point. Thank you.

You do quite a bit of quicksteps and a few jumps here and there

[RoneyNgala]

Thank goodness for terminal velocity. Without it, picture how it would be with *the rains* .

[glowkirby]

It depends if you play Terminal Velocity from sonic colors

[uncolorr]

i just want to say thank you, 7 years later

What’s the need for a 2 minute video? It’s just the final level of Sonic Colors.

[anush]

It depends on viscosity of air and your velocity right

[sushanalone]

What happens on a giant planet with no atmosphere and hence no drag, does one accelerate indefinitely until you hit the surface?

Thank you. For some reason my science teacher could never made me understand it. The problem I had was that I didn't know what sec./sec. meant.

A great video that popped up seconds before my sky dive. Hence the name.

[anush]

But my dout is why its become constant it will become constant only in very certain cases

[pokepros]

I have a doubt, why does drag keep increasing as one falls?

[arihinjaypatil]

very nice video but can you pls explain me terminal velocity personally plss i have my physics exam tomorrow so pls can you explain me personally

[lara-tlcz]

Can u answer something... In my book it is written that when the object is about to fall its velocity is zero then when it is accelerating and drag force acting on it velocity v2 is greater than zero but when it acheives terminal velocity its teeminal velocity is greater than v2???how shouldn't it be less
