Answer 2

Hm physics isn't my strong point, but from what I remember, an object falls with a certain gravitational acceleration so its velocity is increasing as time goes on. But, there is a drag force in the opposite direction to the gravitational force that causes the object to slow down. At some point, the drag force is equal to the weight such that the object has no net external force acting on it. Meaning that it has a constant velocity (no acceleration), so that the object will fall down at a constant velocity (rather than having its velocity increase continuously). And this special velocity is called the "terminal velocity"
