Equilibrium of forces — practice question

A stone with mass $m$ is released from a tall building. Air resistance is significant. The acceleration of free fall is $g$. While the stone is moving with constant (terminal) velocity, which statement is correct?

  • Aacceleration $= g$, force of gravity $= 0$, force of air resistance $= mg$
  • Bacceleration $= 0$, force of gravity $= mg$, force of air resistance $= mg$
  • Cacceleration $= 0$, force of gravity $= 0$, force of air resistance $= mg$
  • Dacceleration $= 0$, force of gravity $= mg$, force of air resistance $= 0$
