===About Terminal Velocity===

: '''Terminal velocity''' depends on :*The [[density]] of an [[object]] - The more [[dense]] an [[object]] the greater the '''terminal velocity''' because larger [[~~density~~object]]s will experience greater [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] at a given [[speed]] ~~and~~ .*The shape of an [[object]] - The more [[streamline]]d an [[object]] the greater the '''terminal velocity''' because they experience less [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] at a given [[speed]].

: '''Terminal velocity''' is the maximum [[velocity]] an [[object]] will reach when falling due to [[gravity]].

: '''Terminal velocity''' occurs because [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] increases with [[speed]] until the [[Air Resistance|air resistance]] is [[Balancing Forces|balanced]] with the [[weight]], at which point the [[object]] will stop [[accelerating]].
