The forces acting on a falling body are gravity and air resistance.
Gravity: The pull of two objects on each other.Inertia: Basically something that slows any kind of acceleration or deceleration on a moving object.Yup, those two are the main forces that act on a falling object.
Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
That depends. If no forces act on the object, it will. If forces do act on the objects, such forces may change the object's velocity.
Forces that likely act upon a moving object include:frictiongravity
gravity and drag

Friction always acts in a direction opposing the motion of an object.
The forces that affect the rate of a falling object are Gravity and Air Resistance. Gravity affects the speed and the velocity of the object by speeding it up as it falls closer to the earth, and Air resistance works against the object pushing against it.
That depends. If no forces act on the object, it will. If forces do act on the objects, such forces may change the object's velocity.

If the object doesn't move, the forces HAVE TO be balanced. There is no other way.
The falling object
If forces on an object are balanced, the object will not accelerate - i.e., its velocity won't change.
