Assuming the object is in free fall the only thing that can keep the object from accelerating in the opposing force of kinetic friction upward by air (known as air resistance).

What is the net force of a 7 pound object falling 20 inches?

The net force on a 7 pound object that is falling (accelerating down) is 7 pounds. If it is not falling or moving at a constant speed, it is zero.


Which term refers to the speed at which a falling object stops accelerating and begins to fall at a constant rate?

terminal


How is gravity different for objects that freely fall down and those thrown upwards?

The gravity acting on a rising object and that on a falling object are the same when these objects are at the same height. What is different is that a rising object is decelerating by the force of gravity and the falling object is accelerating.

What is the shape of a displacement-time graph for an object that is constantly speeding up?

If the Object is falling at a constant velocity the shape of the graph would be linear. If the object is falling at a changing velocity (Accelerating) the shape of the graph would be exponential- "J' Shape.
