Question

when an object reaches terminal velocity, it is the best example of which of newtons laws?

newtons second- unbalanced forces

the object would not be a good example of any of the newtons laws

newtons first- balanced forces

newtons third- collision/contact

Explanation:

Brief Explanations

Terminal velocity occurs when the upward drag force equals the downward gravitational force on an object, resulting in balanced forces. Newton's First Law states that an object in motion will stay in motion at a constant velocity when no net (unbalanced) force acts on it, which matches the state of an object at terminal velocity (constant speed, no acceleration from balanced forces).

Answer:

Newton's First- balanced forces
