Gravity and Air Resistance Quick Check
What happens when a falling object reaches terminal velocity?
it slows down.
it stops accelerating
It speeds up
it hits the ground and stops.
2. How does a falling object’s surface area affect calculations of terminal velocity?
The greater the objects surface area, the more air resistance it encounters
The greater the objects surface area, the greater the air density
Surface area does not affect an object’s terminal velocity
The greater the object’s surface area, the greater it’s terminal velocity
