Plenary

1

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

1

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

1

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

1

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