  2. Terminal velocity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terminal_velocity

    At this point the object stops accelerating and continues falling at a constant speed called the terminal velocity (also called settling velocity). An object moving downward faster than the terminal velocity (for example because it was thrown downwards, it fell from a thinner part of the atmosphere, or it changed shape) will slow down until it ...

  3. Free fall - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free_fall

    In classical mechanics, free fall is any motion of a body where gravity is the only force acting upon it. A freely falling object may not necessarily be falling down in the vertical direction. If the common definition of the word "fall" is used, an object moving upwards is not considered to be falling, but using scientific definitions, if it is ...

  5. Drag (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_(physics)

    An object falling through viscous medium accelerates quickly towards its terminal speed, approaching gradually as the speed gets nearer to the terminal speed. Whether the object experiences turbulent or laminar drag changes the characteristic shape of the graph with turbulent flow resulting in a constant acceleration for a larger fraction of ...
