Question
nina jumps out of a plane during a skydive. after falling for several seconds, nina reaches terminal velocity. nina weighs 600 newtons. she experiences a force of air resistance of 600 newtons.
complete the sentence.
as nina falls, the magnitude of her velocity _______.
increases decreases does not change
When an object reaches terminal velocity, the upward air resistance force equals the downward gravitational force (weight). This means the net force on the object is 0, so its velocity stops changing and remains constant.
