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 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.
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
When a parachutist is falling, the forces acting on them are gravity pulling them downward and air resistance pushing against their fall. Gravity is the dominant force causing the parachutist to accelerate towards the ground while air resistance counteracts this force, eventually leading to a terminal velocity where the forces are balanced.
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.
When the air resistance on a falling object equals the pull of gravity, the object reaches its terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and falls at a constant speed due to the balance of forces acting upon it.
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.

Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.

Terminal Velocity is the speed that a falling object achieves when the drag forces that occur from air resistance are equal to the gravitational forces acting on the object.
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.
When the air resistance on a falling object equals the pull of gravity, the object reaches its terminal velocity. At terminal velocity, the object no longer accelerates and falls at a constant speed due to the balance of forces acting upon it.
Terminal velocities are balanced forces. At terminal velocity, the upward force of air resistance acting on an object falling through the air is equal in magnitude to the downward force of gravity, resulting in an equilibrium where the object falls at a constant speed.

If air resistance is significant, after falling for a while the air resistance will be as strong as the force of gravity; the two forces will be in equilibrium, and the object won't accelerate any more. This velocity is called "terminal velocity". The amount of this terminal velocity, and the time it takes to approach the terminal velocity, depends on the specific object that is falling.
