When an object is falling and reaches a constant velocity, the net force on the object is ____ and the weight of the object is e
qual 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 <em>zero</em> (it's not accelerating), and the weight of the object is equal to <em>the force of air resistance against the object</em>. (choice-D)
