Question

Define terminal velocity.

Expert Solution

Step 1

Terminal velocity is the highest velocity that can be attained by an object when it falls through the air. Terminal velocity is attained when the sum of the dragged force and buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity acting on the body.

Terminal velocity is expressed in meter per second (m/s).
