Terminal velocity
Terminal velocity is when an object moving reaches its maximum speed. This is typically right before the objects force of gravity comes in contact with a fluid(normally air resistance) and balances out to remove any acceleration from occurring after this point in the movement.
Likewise, a ball thrown from the pitchers hand is going to move at its terminal velocity the second the ball leaves his hand. Once the ball leaves the hand of the pitcher, the ball with have no increase in horizontal speed, only a decrease in acceleration. The reason behind this is gravity will start acting down on it, making the ball move downward, and air resistance will also be a force to act upon, decreasing its horizontal speed.
Q.) Will an object move at a constant velocity or consistently changing velocity after it has reached its terminal velocity?
The object moving will have a constant velocity after reaching its terminal velocity
Q.) What 2 forces effect terminal velocity the most?
Gravity and air resistance
