The amount of air drag on an 0. 8n flying squirrel dropping vertically at terminal velocity is 0.8 N.
What speed is terminal velocity?
The speed that an object reaches when it freely falls through a gas or liquid is known as the terminal velocity.
A parachutist who waits to open the chute will typically reach a terminal velocity of around 150 miles per hour (240 km/h).
A mist of minute oil droplets settles with an incredibly low terminal velocity, whereas raindrops fall at a considerably lower terminal velocity.
An object compelled to go faster than its terminal velocity will slow down to this constant velocity upon release; an object dropped from rest will increase its speed until it achieves terminal velocity.
Therefore, an object reaches terminal velocity when its speed is no longer growing or decreasing and its acceleration (or deceleration) is zero.
