Where:
Vt = terminal velocity m = mass of the falling object g = acceleration due to gravity (~9.88ms-2) Cd = drag coefficient (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag_coefficient) ρ = density of the fluid through which the object is falling A = projected area of the object Taken from Wikipedia.

How can one determine when terminal velocity is reached?
Take an accelerometer with you when you jump, and at the point that it reads, "zero", the terminal velocity has been reached.
What equation is used to determine the velocity of a wave?
v=f/lambda
What does a parachute do to terminal velocity?
It decreases the terminal velocity of the parachutist.
What is the equation thast describes how air resistance affects terminal velocity?
down and up forces balance at terminal velocitymass * g = v^2 * drag coefficientif mass and terminal velocity are known , drag coefficient can be foundsay mass = 100 kg, g = 9.8 (m/s)/s, terminal velocity = 70 m/sso at terminal velocity:100*9.8=4900* drag coefficientthen:100*9.8/4900 = 0.2 (drag coefficient)if you reduce the drag coefficient, the terminal velocity will increase, until the forces balance
When gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
What veritables determine how fast an object will be moving when it reaches terminal velocity?
The surface area is the variable to determine how fast an object will be moving when it reaches terminal velocity.

What is the maximum terminal velocity on planet Jupiter?
There is no such thing as "maximum terminal velocity", neither on Jupiter nor hear on Earth. The "terminal velocity" depends on the specific object - and on the atmospheric conditions. For example, a very heavy object will typically have a larger terminal velocity than one that is very light; and near Earth's surface, the terminal velocity (for a given object) will be smaller than in the upper atmosphere, where there is less air resistance.
What is the equation you use to determine the momentum of a object?
Momentum= Mass X Velocity
How fast do rubber balls go if they fall off a tower?
It depends on the height of the tower and the terminal velocity of the specific rubber ball. Many objects with a specific gravity near 1 have a terminal velocity of about 120 miles per hour.
What is the greatest velocity a fallen object reaches?
If air resistance is significant, after falling for a while the air resistance will be as strong as the force of gravity; the two forces will be in equilibrium, and the object won't accelerate any more. This velocity is called "terminal velocity". The amount of this terminal velocity, and the time it takes to approach the terminal velocity, depends on the specific object that is falling.
