Air Resistance (Drag Force) and Terminal Velocity

jeudi 28 novembre 2013

1. The problem statement, all variables and given/known data



"How does air resistance affect terminal velocity"





2. Relevant equations



N/A



3. The attempt at a solution



I know most of the answer of this, however I am just wondering say take a parachutist for example, if the air resistance is the resultant force, then in order to reach terminal velocity the parachutist would have to decelerate until the air resistance=weight and hence terminal velocity is achieved, is this correct?
