Highest velocity attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid
Terminal velocity is the maximum speed attainable by an object as it falls through a fluid (air is the most common example). It is reached when the sum of the drag force (F d ) and the buoyancy is equal to the downward force of gravity (F G ) acting on the object. Since the net force on the object is zero, the object has zero acceleration. For objects falling through air at normal pressure, the bu... Wikipedia
