Question

  1. when is a falling object experiencing terminal velocity? the drag force equals the gravitational force the drag force is greater than the gravitational force the object is accelerating at 9.8m/s^2 the drag force is less than the gravitational force

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Terminal velocity occurs when the net force on a falling object is zero. The two main forces acting on a falling object are the gravitational force pulling it down and the drag force (air - resistance) pushing it up. When these two forces are equal in magnitude, the object no longer accelerates and moves at a constant speed, which is the terminal velocity.

Answer:

the drag force equals the gravitational force
