At this time the speed remains constant. As you are likely aware, in order to have a change in velocity, an unbalanced force is required. The "terminal velocity" is determined by the shape of the object. Sky divers can speed up and slow down by changing the shape they present to the relative wind (the air going by them).

Specifically, the force of drag increases with air speed, ... As it speeds up, the force of drag opposing gravity increases, until finally the object is falling so fast that the force of drag exactly cancels the force of gravity. At that point, the object no longer speeds up, so it is falling at its maximum "terminal" velocity.

This experiment uses a PC oscilloscope to investigate the effect of wind resistance on a rotating system, the electrical output from a coupled generator and the onset of terminal velocity. ... (i.e. can you draw a straight line with a ruler through the trace?) What does this tell you about the speed of the falling weight?

increasing your terminal velocity - Terminal velocity is achieved when an object (usually falling from the sky) reaches its maximum speed. When it can go no faster, it has reached ... Different objects have different levels of terminal velocity. A bowling ball, for example, has a greater terminal velocity than a pillow.
