Cuando un objeto cae de una altura cualquiera, el aire empieza a chocar contra él. Cuanto más rápido se mueva el objeto, más rozamiento se producirá, hasta llegar al punto en que la fuerza de rozamiento contra el aire sea igual a la fuerza con la que el objeto cae. Es entonces cuando el sistema objeto-gravedad-aire llega al equilibrio : pese a que la gravedad terrestre intenta acelerar aún más el objeto, el rozamiento contra el aire es tan grande que no lo permite. El objeto cae entonces a una velocidad terminal. 1, record 1, Spanish, - velocidad%20terminal
