    say you are in a plane and your about to release an egg so that it will fall to the ground. how high would you have to be so that when you release the egg it is able to reach it's fastest speed befor3e hitting the ground?

    Height makes no different - it will travel at it's own speed. I think this is to do with gravity. 

    Terminal velocity is the velocity at which a falling object CEASES to accelerate while falling. Thus, f = ma = 0; the net force on the falling body is zero at terminal velocity V and no longer falling faster.


     

    See Jack Large for the correct answer.I know about terminal velocity but I didn't know the equation.

    once you get over a certain height friction will slow the egg down
