Yes. An object is in equilibrium if the velocity is constant. A constant velocity can occur if the forces balance on the object. Consider that the gravitational force is balanced by the "air resistance force", then there is no net force and thus no acceleration. Then the velocity at which this occurs will be a constant and thus the body will be in equilibrium.

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.


What occurs only when air resistance does not affect the motion of a falling object?

The mass of an object will not affect the time it takes for it to reach the ground from a fixed height. Backspace


What is the greatest velocity a fallen object reaches?

If air resistance is significant, after falling for a while the air resistance will be as strong as the force of gravity; the two forces will be in equilibrium, and the object won't accelerate any more. This velocity is called "terminal velocity". The amount of this terminal velocity, and the time it takes to approach the terminal velocity, depends on the specific object that is falling.


What is the greates velocity a falling object can reach called?

The greatest velocity a falling object can reach is called terminal velocity. Terminal velocity occurs when the force of air resistance on the object matches the force of gravity pulling it down, resulting in a constant speed.


What is an example of potential energy into kentic energy?

An example of potential energy being converted into kinetic energy is when a rock is held up in the air and then released. As the rock falls, its potential energy due to its height is converted into kinetic energy as it gains speed.


What is the hypothesis of how does air resistance affect the velocity of falling objects?

The object opposes the air and while falling of the object the initial velocity will become zero , and the final velocity will have some value's this is how air will resist the velocity of falling object ...........


How does air resistance affect motion of a falling objects?

Air resistance acts in the direction opposite to the motion of a falling object, slowing it down. The faster an object moves through the air, the greater the air resistance it experiences. This force ultimately affects the speed and trajectory of the falling object.


What occurs when the upward force of air on a falling object equals the downward force of gravity?

The object will come to a stop. However, this case is only theoretically possible, as in reality, the force from movement of air (wind) will have some component other than that in the direction of gravity, and the object will then appear to move in this direction.


What 2 principal factors affect the force of air resistance on a falling object?

The shape of the object and the density of the gas that the object is falling through.


The force air exerts on a falling object is known as?

What is uniform for an object falling from a height and non uniform?

Ignoring air resistance, the mass, weight, color, acceleration and direction of such a body are constant, whereas its speed is not. Note: "A height" is the only place from which an object can fall.


In free fall when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object we say that the object has reached velocity?

In free fall, when the air resistance is equal to the weight of the falling object, we say that the object has reached ________ velocity.
