MCQ
A falling body reaches terminal velocity when the upward air resistance equals the:
Unit-2 Kinematics
A weight of the body
B acceleration of the body
C height from which it falls
D speed of the body
Explanation

When air resistance balances the weight, the net force is zero and the body falls at a constant terminal velocity.
