Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

When an object reaches its terminal velocity, the forces of air resistance and gravity are equal in magnitude, and the net force on the object becomes zero. As a result, the object stops accelerating and its velocity becomes constant. Therefore, the acceleration of the falling object becomes zero at terminal velocity.
