A falling object reaches terminal velocity once its speed b) remains constant.
At terminal velocity, the force of gravity is balanced by the drag force of air resistance, resulting in no net force acting on the object, leading to a constant speed.
a
decreases.
b
remains constant.
c
stops.
d
increases.
