-- The net vertical force on it is zero.
-- Its acceleration is zero.
-- Its speed is constant.
-- Its speed is what's often called its "terminal velocity".

When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?
Thermal Velocity
When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached?
Thermal Velocity
When air resistance equals pull of gravity?
When air resistance equals the pull of gravity, terminal velocity is reached. This is experienced by all falling objects if given enough time, and this is classically explained in Physics using skydivers.
When falling objects no longer accelerate?
A falling object no longer accelerates, due to friction in the atmosphere, when the friction buildup equals gravity's acceleration. This is called it's terminal velocity.
What happens to free-fall velocity when air resistance equals weight?
If air resistance equals the force of gravity, the object will cease to accelerate, so its velocity will remain constant.
What happens to a falling object when the forces of air resistance equals the force of gravity?
the object will floatit shows increasing acceleration
When equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.?
When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.
What acceleration does the object reach when air resistance equals the force of gravity on a falling object?
the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s

What is the weight of a falling object that has a mass of 16 kg?
0 because while the mass remains at 16 Kg, as the object is falling its weight (caused by the pull of gravity on its mass) becomes 0 as its acceleration equals that of the acceleration due to gravity. (This is why things seem weightless when in orbit round the Earth - they are actually falling).
What is the net force acting on a falling oject when it reaches it terminal velocity?
Air resistance equals the pull of gravity, so essentially zero.
How will the upward force of air resistance compare to the downwward pull of gravity?
Assuming that you're referring to an object that is accelerating towards a massive body by means of gravitational attraction... When the force of frictional air resistance equals the opposing force of gravity, the net force on the object equals zero, and acceleration will cease. It is called terminal velocity, and the object will remain at this velocity until some new event happens.
What happens to free-fall velocity when air resistance equals weight?
If air resistance equals the force of gravity, the object will cease to accelerate, so its velocity will remain constant.
Why does a falling subjected to earths gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?
what your talking about is terminal velocity, which is when the downward force of gravity (Fg)equals the upward force of drag (Fd). This causes the net force on the object to be zero, resulting in an acceleration of zero
