Terminal velocity that occurs during free fall describes the velocity at which drag force from the air becomes equal to the force from the weight of an object, and the object no longer accelerates, causing velocity to remain constant.

Terminal speed is the maximum constant velocity that a falling object reaches when the force of gravity pulling it down is equal to the air resistance pushing against it. At terminal speed, the object no longer accelerates and falls at a constant rate. This speed depends on the object's mass, surface area, and the density of the medium it is falling through.

Why does your battery teminal spark when you connect the red jumper cable?

Something is on drawing power from the battery. Always connect the positive cable first and the negative cable last.

How do you hook up a ford external voltage regulator?

Here is the proper hookup Voltage regulator teminal (I) goes to key switch Acc or Coil Risistor Voltage regulator teminal (A) goes to Alternator Battery Connection Voltage regulator teminal (S) goes to Alternator Stator Connection Voltage regulator teminal (F) goes to Alternator Field Connection Below is Incorrect. Hope this Helps. Ok this is the info that I have so far: (12VDC SYSTEM NEG GROUND) There should be multiple letters on the voltage regulator itself. The F goes onto the field post on the positive side of the alternator. The I goes to a fused + 12vdc (fuse panel) The A ? The S ? I think this goes to the switched "on" ignition point of the key. Any other valuable hints? F terminal on the regulator connects to the field connection on the alt. S terminal on regulator connects to the stator connection on alt. A terminal on regulator connects to the battery +( Plus) or positive terminal. (senses voltage of battery) I terminal on the regulator connects to the ignition switch. (turns regulator off & on) Caution do not connect I to spark coil +(positive) terminal,: may cause engine not to turn off.

When a falling object has reached its teminal velocity its accleration?

When a falling object reaches its terminal velocity, its acceleration becomes zero. The downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance, resulting in no overall acceleration.
