Question

Any object falling from a great height in Earth's atmosphere eventually reaches a speed called terminal velocity. Once the object reaches terminal velocity, it continues falling at the same speed. What causes the falling object to stop increasing in speed once it reaches terminal velocity?

Answer 1

Air resistance

Step-by-step explanation:

As the weight of the object, is constant, so air resistance will try to balance the effect of weight, once acceleration becomes 0, the object will fall with terminal velocity
