Thermal Velocity
Thermal Velocity
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.
A falling body initially falls at a rate of -9.8m/s2, the acceleration due to gravity. Because of the drag force of the air, which is an upward force that opposes the force of gravity, the body's acceleration will decrease as it continues falling. When the drag force equals the weight of the falling body, there will be no further acceleration, and the body will have reached terminal velocity.
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.
Nearly all falling object are affected by the resistance of air. However some objects have a mass greater than the air can affect. There is also the case where air resistance equals that of gravity and the object will not fall any faster.

When THE FRICTION BETWEEN THE OBJECT AND THE ATMOSPHEREequals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity.

the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s

Yes, if you are talking about falling through the atmosphere. While the pull of gravity makes the falling object go faster, friction between the object and the air increases with increasing speed. Eventually this frictional force equals the weight of the object which continues to fall at a steady rate called the terminal velocity.
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).
Air resistance equals the pull of gravity, so essentially zero.
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.
Objects when falling that cannot ignore air resistance are things like feathers, leaves, seeds, or small pieces of paper just to name a few. Objects when falling that can ignore air resistance are things such as objects that are heavy and compact like rocks or metal balls.
