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
Terminal velocity applies to an object in any fluid. It depends on gravity, the fluid’s viscosity, the fluid’s density, the object’s weight, and its shape.
It’s the same idea as air, just that the specific numbers are different. Most objects a human deals with reach terminal water velocity in a under a second.
