Explain the term terminal velocity?
The point at which the acceleration due to gravity is equal to the friction of the air dragging on the object (generally). When the two are equal, they cancel out and no more acceleration occurs, causing the object to have attained the fastest speed possible.
How do you explain the term point object in physics?
A point object is refers to a tiny object which is calculated or counted as dot object to simplyfy the calculations...
What term describes the amount of energy a moving object has?
An object's kinetic energy is energy entirely due to its motion. The kinetic energy of an object, at some given speed, is the work needed to accelerate that body from rest to the given speed.
When an object is seen moving in relation to a stationary object the stationary object is called the frame of reference or reference point?
This is usually called a reference point. Frame of reference is not an incorrect term, but it is used less frequently.
Is the distance and direction of an object's change in position from the starting point?
This term is called displacement.

What is the point at which a planet is at its greatest distance from the sun in its orbit?
That point is called aphelion. The related term for an object orbiting around a planet or other non-sun object is apogee.

Can an object gain the velocity of light?
The word object is a very general term. A photon is also an object, and it does travel at the speed of light. But it never travels at any other speed, so it doesn't "gain" that speed. If we were to ask about objects made of atoms, then the answer is no, they can never accelerate to the velocity of light. They can get arbitrarily close, depending upon how much energy is used to accelerate them, but they can never actually get to the full speed of light.
In terms of speed and direction in which ways can an object accelerate?
Gravity will make any flying object accelerate toward the ground. A force behind a projectile makes it accelerate until the force is removed. When I throw a rock it accelerates until it leaves my hand. A bullet accelerates when the explosion behind it expands the gas.
What term is defined as a change in a object position relative to a reference point?
A change in an objects position relative to a reference point is called motion.
What term describes a prism that only has one base positioned opposite of a single point?
The term that best describes it is an "oxymoron". A solid shape with one base opposite a single point is not a prism so such an object cannot exist.
