* Terminal velocity is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.
* In a vacuum, there is no air resistance. This means there's no opposing force to slow the object down.
* Without air resistance, the object will continue to accelerate due to gravity, getting faster and faster indefinitely.
In essence, a vacuum eliminates the very condition that creates terminal velocity.
Example:
Imagine dropping a feather and a bowling ball in a vacuum. They would both accelerate at the same rate (due to gravity), and their speed would continuously increase. There's no air to create drag and slow them down.
