Yes, if it reaches terminal velocity, which is a constant velocity. When terminal velocity is reached, the downward gravitational force is equal to the upward force of air resistance, and the object no longer accelerates.
In a vacuum, a falling object experiences only its weight force due to gravity acting downwards. There are no other forces present to create any reaction force. As a result, the object accelerates downwards at a constant rate due to gravity.
When an object is free falling, it has only the force of gravity acting on it. This causes the object to accelerate downwards at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 (on Earth). At the same time, the object experiences no air resistance or external forces influencing its motion.
Yes, it is false that balanced forces are equal forces acting on an object in opposite directions. Balanced forces are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction, resulting in no overall change in an object's motion. When forces are balanced, the object will either remain at rest or move at a constant velocity.
When the upward and downward forces on a falling object are equal, the object reaches terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed.
When forces do not balance, the object will experience acceleration or changes in motion. If the net force is not zero, the object will accelerate in the direction of the higher 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.

A free-falling body is an object in motion under the sole influence of gravity, with no other forces acting upon it. During free fall, the object only experiences the force of gravity causing it to accelerate downward at a rate of 9.8 m/s^2 near the Earth's surface.
When an object is falling at terminal velocity, the forces of gravity pulling it downward and air resistance pushing upward are balanced. This results in a constant velocity for the object as it falls.
When the drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity, the object has reached terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed due to the balance between these two forces.
No. A balanced group of forces has the same effect on an object as no force at all.
It will accelerate, so it's velocity will change (and therefore it's position).
The two forces acting on an object that is falling are gravity, which pulls the object downward towards the center of the Earth, and air resistance, which opposes the object's downward motion and slows its fall.
