What forces are acting on an object when it is falling at terminal velocity?
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?
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 gravitational forces and air resistance equalize on an object that is falling toward earth and the object stops accelerating its velocity is called?
In that case, the object is said to have achieved terminal speed.
What is velocity at which a falling object travels when the force of air resistance matches exactly the downward force of gravity?
newton's first law states: an object will remain at rest or at a constant velocity unless the forces on it become unbalanced. As the forces on the object are now balanced it falls at a constant velocity. For falling objects this is called the terminal velocity
Does a skydivers decreases her acceleration when falling 5 seconds before reaching her terminal velocity?
No, a skydiver's acceleration remains constant as they fall towards their terminal velocity. This is because terminal velocity is the point at which the forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced, resulting in a constant velocity.

When the upward and downward forces on a falling object or changes its direction is called an?
Terminal Velocity.
What if a falling object reaches this when forces of gravity and air resistance are balanced?
terminal velocity
When an object is falling is it balanced or unbalanced forces.?
Not balanced UNTIL it reaches terminal velocity.
What is it called when the forces of air resistance and gravity are equal in a falling object?
Terminal velocity see link
What is the greatest velocity a fallen object reaches?
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.
Why is terminal velocity in water less than the terminal velocity in air?
The incompressibility, inertia and relatively higher viscosity of water make it difficult to displace, so its reactive forces on the falling object are greater; hence the terminal velocity is reduced.
