In initially accelerates due to the force of gravity. Eventually, the resultant force will be zero and the object move its terminal velocity.
80
What is Newton’s first law?
If the resultant force acting on an object is zero, and -The object stationary, the object remain stationary -The object is moving. The object continues to move at the same speed and in the same direction, so the object continues to move at the same velocity.
