15N
The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.
Since from the description it seems that the forces act in opposite directions, you simply subtract.
The idea is to calculate the downward force of gravity, and then subtract the air resistance, since it acts in the opposite way. This assumes that the ball falls directly downward.
Since gravity attracts the ball downward, and air resistance acts upwards (assuming that it falls straight down), you need to subtract the force of gravity (i.e., the weight) minus the air resistance.
6 newtons, so it keeps accelerating. As it does, the air resistance increases until it reaches 10 newtons so then the net force is zero and then the fall continues at constant speed (the terminal velocity).
The net force is the difference between the 10N falling object and the 4N of air resistance So you solve 10N-4N is 6N
25-15= 10n
The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.
The net force would be zero, which means the falling object would no longer be accelerating, and would be falling at terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. Weight is a downward (negative) force and air resistance is an upward (positive) force. Fnet = weight + air resistance = -12N + 12N = 0N

The net force on a following object
Since gravity attracts the ball downward, and air resistance acts upwards (assuming that it falls straight down), you need to subtract the force of gravity (i.e., the weight) minus the air resistance.
If the vertical speed is constant, that means there is zero vertical acceleration. If the vertical acceleration is zero, that means the net vertical force on the object is zero. If the net vertical force on the object is zero, that means the downward force (weight) and upward force (air resistance) are equal.
6 newtons, so it keeps accelerating. As it does, the air resistance increases until it reaches 10 newtons so then the net force is zero and then the fall continues at constant speed (the terminal velocity).
The object experiences 20 newtons pulling it down due to gravity. But it also experiences 4 newtons air resistance pushing it up. 20 - 4= 16 newtons net downward force on the object.
the net force is 10N - it is acceleratiing with gravity - if no air resistance. If it falls far enough, eventually air resistance will balance the force and net force will be zero - it will fall at constant velocity and zero acceleration
