well if you consider the ISS as constantly falling at the same time its moving away from the earth so it dosnt hit the ground all objects have to be in acceleration for that sort of free fall. but a parajumper in a free fall dose not have any acceleration but using there body they can use arms and legs to direct the air in away that it pushes them forward or backward.

What do you call the motion of an object with a constant acceleration?
Free fall. Airbus has built aircrafts that may dive with an acceleration of 9.81 m/s2 to simulate zero gravity. satellites are technically in a constant free fall. A world where no friction would occur would lead to constant acceleration as long as the force acting on the object stays the same.
What is the acceleration of a falling object that has reached it's terminal velocity?
Since the direction of the motion remains constant throughout the free fall, once the speed also becomes constant, the acceleration is zero.
What is the numerical value in a meters per second squared of the acceleration of an object experiencing a true free fall?
The acceleration of an object by gravity depends on where the object is. The AVERAGE acceleration of gravity on the Earth is 9.81 m/s². Effective gravity on the Earth's surface varies by around 0.7%, from 9.7639 m/s2 on the Nevado Huascarán mountain in Peru to 9.8337 m/s2 at the surface of the Arctic Ocean.Of course if you drop an object on other bodies - such as the moon or Mars, the acceleration is MUCH different that it is on Earth.
When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.

Can an object have zero acceleration and eventually-reverses its acceleration?
I am not sure what you mean by reversing a zero acceleration. An object's acceleration can, of course, change over time.

What is the acceleration of an object if the net force working on the object is zero?
The acceleration would also be zero in this case.
When the acceleration of an object is zero what is the velocity at the same time?
As long as acceleration is zero, the object's velocity is constant.
When forces are balanced compare the acceleration of an object at rest and an object in motion?
An object at rest has zero acceleration. If the set of forces acting on a moving object is balanced, then the moving object also has zero acceleration.
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object is acceleration?
When the net forces acting on an object sum to zero then the object's acceleration is zero.
When an object reaches its termainal speed its acceleration is zero right?
Acceleration is zero when the object's speed and direction stop changing.
When the net force on an object is zero?
Then there will be no acceleration of the object.
Does a dish resting on a table have constant acceleration?
An object at rest has zero speed and zero acceleration.
How can an object motionless and in equilibrium?
When an object is in equilibrium, the acceleration is zero. When the acceleration is zero, the velocity does not change; the non changing velocity includes the case when the velocity has value zero.
