-- Its acceleration is zero.

-- Its speed is constant.

-- Its speed is what's often called its "terminal velocity".

What is the speed limit of falling objects called?

The speed limit of falling objects is called terminal velocity. This is the constant speed that a freely falling object eventually reaches when the resistance of the medium it is falling through (like air) equals the force of gravity acting on it.


When you drag force on an object falling through the air equals the force of gravity the object has reached what?

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.


What is the force that supports an object against gravity?

The force that supports an object against gravity is called the normal force. It is exerted by a surface to prevent objects from falling through it. The normal force equals the force of gravity acting on the object.


An object is projected straight upward. Neglecting air resistance it .?

It will rise until the force of gravity on it equals the initial force used to project it upward. At that point, it will momentarily stop before falling back down due to gravity.


When what equals the force of gravity on a falling object the object reaches terminal velocity?

When the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity on a falling object, the object reaches terminal velocity. At this point, the object stops accelerating and falls at a constant speed due to the balance of these two forces.

Air resistance equals the pull of gravity, so essentially zero.

Does the body falling to the earth travel at the same speed from the very beginning of its travel?

No, the speed of an object falling to the Earth increases due to the acceleration of gravity. At the beginning, the object has zero velocity and then accelerates until it reaches its terminal velocity, which is when the force of air resistance equals the force of gravity.

What occurs when the upward force of air on a falling object equals the downward force of gravity?

The object will come to a stop. However, this case is only theoretically possible, as in reality, the force from movement of air (wind) will have some component other than that in the direction of gravity, and the object will then appear to move in this direction.


Why does a falling subjected to earths gravity does not continue to accelerate forever?

what your talking about is terminal velocity, which is when the downward force of gravity (Fg)equals the upward force of drag (Fd). This causes the net force on the object to be zero, resulting in an acceleration of zero
