Plenary
25.

1.When an object falls through a fluid it will initially decelerate.

26.

1.When an object is accelerating the downwards force from gravity must be greater than the upwards force from the fluid.

27.

1.When these forces are balanced the object will stop moving.

28.

1.When the resultant force is zero the object will fall at a steady speed. This is called terminal velocity.

29.

1.A parachute will make a skydiver move upwards in the air.
