[QUOTE="cohunt, post: 1630948, member: 94491"] To a poi want more confusion? To a point, technically air resistance also affects the max rate of fall, once the force of air resistance equals the gravitational force then the object has met its terminal velocity and no longer accelerates towards earth any faster no matter how long it is in flight. Gravitational acceleration is 9.8m/s/s until it hits its terminal velocity, but not every object has the same terminal velocity The shape of the object affects its coefficient of drag (Cd) which In turn affects its terminal velocity. Think of a flat piece of paper weighing 1 gram, it will not drop as fast as a rock weighing 1 gram due to its air resistance Though it is small in the big picture, an object with more surface area but the same weight will stop accelerating due to gravity sooner than one with a smaller surface area [/QUOTE]
