The word "falling" implies there is a gravitational force also. As the object gains speed, the air resistance ("drag") increases, until it equals the gravitational force. After that there is no net (resultant) force, so the object goes at constant speed.
air resistance.
False. When the only force acting on a falling object is air resistance, it is not considered to be in free fall. Free fall occurs when an object falls solely under the influence of gravity with no other forces acting upon it.
The upward force acting on an object falling through the air is called air resistance or drag. This force opposes the motion of the object and increases as the object's speed increases. It ultimately results in a terminal velocity when the upward force equals the downward force of gravity.
An object falling towards the Earth will stop accelerating once it reaches its terminal velocity, which is the maximum speed it can achieve due to air resistance. This happens when the force of air resistance is equal to the force of gravity acting on the object.
The main forces acting on a falling object are gravity and air resistance. Gravity pulls the object downward toward the ground, while air resistance, or drag, slows down its descent by pushing upward against it. The net force of gravity minus air resistance determines the object's overall acceleration as it falls.

Zero. "Terminal velocity" means that the object is no longer accelerating; the downward force of gravity and the upward force of resistance are in balance.

When an object is in free fall, gravity is the only force acting on it. This occurs when the object is falling under the influence of gravity alone, with no other forces like air resistance or drag affecting its motion.
No, that is false. "Free fall" means that the only force acting on an object is GRAVITY. Specifically, there may be no significant amount of air resistance. It's not quite possible for the only force acting on an object to be air resistance, since you can't really eliminate the effect of gravity. Though, if the object has the same density than the liquid or gas in which it is placed, the gravity may be cancelled for practical purposes.
