1 answer
The situation in which the object is experiencing balanced forces is:
D A sky diver reaches terminal velocity when he stops accelerating.
At terminal velocity, the force of gravity pulling the sky diver down is balanced by the air resistance pushing up against him, resulting in no net force and constant velocity.
