Question 4 • Mad 2017 Phy Sci B -33 SS

Which condition describes an object having terminal velocity?

Answer
A
gravity > air resistance
B
gravity < air resistance
C
gravity = air resistance

Explanation

At terminal velocity, the object’s acceleration is zero because the forces on it are balanced. Gravity pulls downward, while air resistance pushes upward with equal strength. Therefore, gravity equals air resistance, so choice C is correct.
