Only if it has enough wind resistance to cancel out gravity.

What is the acceleration of falling object that has reached its terminal velocity?

Zero, by definition.


When a falling object has reached its teminal velocity its accleration?

When a falling object reaches its terminal velocity, its acceleration becomes zero. The downward force of gravity is balanced by the upward force of air resistance, resulting in no overall acceleration.


A man with a load jumps from high building so what willl be load experienced by him?

Zero, because while falling, both the man and the load are falling at the same acceleration I.e. Acceleration due to gravity.


Is it possible for an object to have a constant acceleration and a non-zero velocity?

Yes, a falling apple meets that condition.


What is the acceleration of a falling object that has reached it's terminal velocity?

At terminal velocity, the acceleration of a falling object is zero. Terminal velocity is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium (such as air) through which it is falling equals the force of gravity.


Do you agree with the statement an object with a zero velocity can have an acceleration greater than yero?

Of course. Toss a stone straight up. -- From the moment it leaves your hand until the moment it hits the ground, it has constant acceleration ... the acceleration of gravity, around 10 meters per second2. The number isn't important, only the fact that the acceleration of the stone is not zero until it hits the ground. -- Velocity-wise: The stone starts out with some upward velocity, which steadily decreases until it's at the top of its arc, then the velocity becomes downward and increases until the stone hits the ground. -- At the very top of the arc, there is a point where the velocity changes from upward to downward. In order for that to happen, there must be an instant when the velocity is zero. -- But the acceleration is constant and not zero, even at that instant when the velocity is zero.


What is the speed at which the acceleration of a falling objects falls to zero because air resistance balances its weight?

The speed at which the acceleration of a falling object reaches zero due to air resistance balancing its weight is called the terminal velocity. This occurs when the drag force from air resistance equals the force of gravity acting on the object, resulting in a net force of zero and no further acceleration.


Can a body have acceleration with zero velocity?

Yes, but only for an instant. For example, if you throw a stone up, when it is at its highest point it has a velocity of zero, but its acceleration is -9.8 m/s2. If there is acceleration, the velocity can not remain at zero.


What is the action and reaction in case of a stone suspended by a string?

Downward force on the stone ===> force of gravity. Upward force on the stone ===> tension in the string. Downward force is equal to the upward force. Total (net) force on the stone is zero. Acceleration of the stone is zero. It just hangs there.


How does air ir resistance affect the accerleration of a falling object?

It slows the acceleration - possibly down to zero @ "terminal velocity".


How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object-How does air resistance affect the acceleration of a falling object?

It reduces the acceleration of the falling object due to friction.


Is it possible for your speed to be zero when your acceleration is not zero?

Yes. Zero acceleration means you are not changing your speed (speed up or slow down) or changing direction. Zero acceleration is a constant speed in a linear direction. A speed implies you are moving.
