When an object is at terminal velocity, the two forces due to gravity and drag are equal, so the object ceases accelerating. Its motion is constant and vertically downward.
Zero.
Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.
An object falling at terminal velocity is moving at constant speed (that's what terminal velocity means) and we will assume it is not changing direction (i.e. it is falling straight down; in reality it is more likely to be bobbing and weaving on the wind.) Constant speed and direction is another way of saying constant velocity. when an object is acted upon by a net force, it's velocity changes. So, since we know that the velocity is not changing, there is no force.
On any planet with an atmosphere, gravity is counteracted by the force of air friction with the object that is falling. This is known as terminal velocity - the point at which the forces of air resistance and gravity balance.
it is in equilibrium.
It depends on the surface area, shape, and the weight of an object, among other things. It also depends on altitude.
Zero.
Zero.
The net force is zero.
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
the greatest velocity a falling object reaches is terminal velocity
The surface area is the variable to determine how fast an object will be moving when it reaches terminal velocity.
That is the object's terminal velocity.
The name for it is "terminal velocity". What it is depends on what the object is.

Terminal velocity defines the point at which an object will no longer accelerate. When a falling object reaches terminal velocity, it will continue to fall at a constant speed.
