when an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is ____ and the weight of the object is equal to____
A. zero; the mass of the object
B. 10; the speed at which the object is falling
C. 10; acceleration due to gravity
D. Zero; the force of air resistance against the object
When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is zero (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to the force of air resistance against the object. Â (choice-D)
