The &#039;&#039;&#039;terminal velocity&#039;&#039;&#039; of the object relative to that external forcei s defined as a velocity that the object attains at which there is no net acceleration on the object. In other words, at a terminal velocity, the total [[drag force]] exerted on the object is equal and opposite to the external force.<br /> <br /> The typical context in which this term is used is where the external force is the force of gravity and the object is falling downward.</div>
