How Fast Will Something Be Traveling After X Meters? Divide the distance by the time to find the speed. The distance over the time will give you the object’s speed. In our example, 100 miles/2 hours = 50 miles/hour (about 80 kilometers/hour). How do you find speed after distance? Rate and speed are similar since
How High To Reach Terminal Velocity? For example, a human body generally needs to fall about 450 meters (1,500 feet) of height before it reaches terminal velocity. How many floors does it take to reach terminal velocity? After the ball has dropped about 100 meters (around 25-30 stories for a normal building), the force of
Do Lighter Objects Reach Terminal Velocity Faster? Do lighter objects reach terminal velocity faster? heavy objects will have a higher terminal velocity than light objects. (Why? It takes a larger air resistance force to equal the weight of a heavier object. A larger air resistance force requires more speed.) Do heavier objects have faster terminal
