Here's why:
* Terminal speed is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
* Momentum is a measure of mass in motion, calculated by multiplying an object's mass by its velocity.
* Even though the object is no longer accelerating (its speed is constant), it still has a velocity, and therefore continues to gain momentum.
