name Peter status educator age 60s Question - Isn't it true that, on earth, where no object really falls "freely", there is a point at which the falling object finally attains zero acceleration? That is, could you say that, in reality, a falling object attains a maximum velocity above which it will not go?

At that point, the object no longer speeds up, so it is falling at its maximum "terminal" velocity. Without the force of drag, objects under the force of gravity all fall at the same rate.

Terminal velocity - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
In fluid dynamics an object is moving at its terminal velocity if its speed is constant due to the restraining force exerted by the air, water or other fluid through which it is moving. A free-falli...

The magnitude of terminal velocity depends on the weight of the falling body. For a heavy object, the terminal velocity is generally greater than a light object. This is because air resistance is proportional to the falling body's velocity squared.

The Terminal Velocity, the maximum speed of a falling object when resistance of air equals the pull of gravity increases when the surface area is larger. The paper helicopter will take a shorter time to reach its Terminal Velocity and will fall quicker than if the wing length is shortened.

Otherwise you should give us some more figures (tube diameter, object dimensions and shape, gap around the object, expected falling velocity minimum and maximum value) to help figure out a method for the calculation.
