Gravity is stronger than drag. The object accelerates.

The speed depends heavily on weight, surface area, and air density. Estimated Terminal Velocity Key Factor ~120 mph (193 km/h) High surface area increases drag. Skydiver (Head-down) ~150–200 mph (240–320 km/h) Reduced surface area lowers drag. Raindrop ~20 mph (32 km/h) Low mass means drag balances gravity quickly. Peregrine Falcon (Dive) ~240 mph (386 km/h) Extremely aerodynamic shape ( Cdcap C sub d 🛠️ Variables That Change the Result Altitude: At higher altitudes, air is thinner ( is lower). This makes terminal velocity higher. File: terminal.velocity.zip ...

): Pushes upward against the object; increases as the object moves faster. The Balancing Act Gravity is stronger than drag
