Other things (the volume and shape) being equal, a greater weight would cause a greater terminal velocity.

If my weight is 330 pounds and I am 5'9 tall how much over weight am I?
According to the below website, your BMI is at 48.7, which puts you largely above healthy weight. A healthy BMI should be between 18.5 and 24.9. So according to some rouch calculations, at your height a healthier weight would be closer to say, 160 lbs.
What is the weight of a cantaloupe?
There are several different varieties of cantaloupe and other factors that affect their weight. A cantaloupe is between 1.5 and 4kg, or 4 to 9 lbs.
What is the weight of a carot equal to?
The weight of a carot is equal to 200 milligrams. Carots are used to measure and weigh diamonds. A diamond's worth is determined by how many carots it has.
How many stoners is 290 pounds in weight?
290 pounds is 20.71 stones.
How much does mongoose program weight?
Around 28 Ib ( 12.5 Kg )
When a sky diver reaches terminal velocity what happens to the two forces of weight and drag?
The weight force and drag force will be equal
In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity.?
That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.That is called terminal velocity.
What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?
The fastest velocity a falling object can reach is called its terminal velocity. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the downwards force of weight (gravity), so the object is in equilibrium, and thus reaches a constant velocity.
How could a skydiver increase a his or her terminal velocity?
The more streamlined the body, the less the air resistance, and the greater the speed. Carrying a heavy weight would also help. Whilst performing the sky dive on Jupiter would also increase the terminal velocity, (because of greater g) it would cost too much to do it.
What is the airspeed in MPH of terminal velocity?
It depends on the surface area, shape, and the weight of an object, among other things. It also depends on altitude.
When an object is released in a fluid is the drag force less than its weight before it reaches terminal velocity?
When an object is released in a fluid is the drag force less than its weight before it reaches terminal velocity?
How does a skydiver increase his or her terminal velocity?
adding weight and by decresing air recistance
When air resistance balances weight the velocity becomes?
Terminal. It stays at that one velocity til the object hits the ground.
Is the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is it called momentum?
The greatest velocity a falling object reaches is called the terminal velocity.For an object falling at the terminal velocity, the weight force of the objectis balanced by the drag force and buoyant force on the object.W + FDRAG + FBUOYANT = FNET = 0.0
The largest velocity reached by a falling object is its what?
Its terminal velocity. This happens when the net force on the object is zero and therefore it stops accelerating. This makes sense intuitively because the faster something falls, the more air resistance it experiences. Once this air resistance force reaches the force of weight of the object, terminal velocity has been reached.
Is terminal velocity the same speed for any weight?
Terminal velocity for a feather will be considerably lower than the terminal velocity of a bullet. The size and shape of the object will play an important role. While objects dropped from a given height in a vacuum will fall to earth at the same velocity, the resistance caused by atmosphere will be different for different objects.
Does terminal speed and terminal velocity are the same?
Yes, but only in free-fall. If I'm driving at 60 mph, I have a constant velocity, but it's not my "terminal velocity" in the sense that there is no limit to my acceleration caused by air friction. But yes, an object in free-fall reaches its terminal velocity when its velocity stops increasing (acceleration=0).
