If the vertical speed is constant, that means there is zero vertical acceleration.

If the vertical acceleration is zero, that means the net vertical force on the object

is zero. If the net vertical force on the object is zero, that means the downward

force (weight) and upward force (air resistance) are equal.

Compare velocity from acceleration?

Velocity is a constant traveling speed. Acceleration is increasing traveling speed (variation of speed over time)


How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters after it reaches terminal velocity?

If its speed of fall is no longer changing, then its acceleration is zero. That tells you that the forces on it must be balanced, so the upward force of air resistance must be exactly equal to the downward force of gravity.


If you push a chair across the floor at a constant velocity how does the force of friction compare with the force?

If the chair is moving at a constant velocity, the force of friction is equal and opposite to the force you are exerting on the chair. This is to maintain the equilibrium of forces acting on the chair.

How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters before it reaches terminal velocity?

The weight exceeds the force of air resistance, but as the speed increases the air resistance increases, so the net force (weight - air resistance) falls. When the difference becomes zero the acceleration ceases and you have terminal velocity.

How do you compare velocity and speed?

Velocity is a vectorial quantity, speed with a direction.


How does the direction of momentum compare to the direction of velocity?

Momentum is a vector quantity that is proportional to velocity. The direction of momentum is the same as the direction of velocity, but momentum includes the mass of the object in addition to its velocity.


Is it possible for an object to have zero velocity?

Zero relative velocity to another object, sure no problem. Zero absolute velocity, not possible as there is no absolute reference to compare to.


How do units for speed and velocity compare?

The units are the same (metres per second) except that the velocity also has the direction of motion associated with it.
