Like terminal velocity of an object falling in the air, is there the same said type terminal velocity for objects sinking in water? If so, how deep would an object have to be sinking in order to reach the speed? Does the weight of the object in water affect the speed as well?
In: 181
Changes in pressure as the object sinks would also alter this terminal velocity, as the object would become more dense from the water pressure. As water is rather incompressible, the objects density might rise even faster than that of water under pressure, making the object sink faster after a certain depth.
