Question

Eli5: what happens if an object is pushed past it’s terminal velocity?

In: Physics

Answer 1

Then it’s no longer in free fall.

To exceed terminal velocity, you’ll need an outside force to increase the speed of the object.

But it’s really not anything different than say an object moving horizontally at a speed greater than its terminal velocity.

For example, a 0.30cal bullet may have a terminal velocity of 300ft/s but it leaves the barrel of a gun at 2300 feet/s. A bullet traveling horizontally at 2300fps isn’t going to be different from a bullet traveling downwards at 2300 fps.
