Answer 1

If I'm reading the question correctly, it looks like this was a fill-in-the-blank where you answered "constant," is that correct? In that case, I think what the question is looking for is "terminal." Terminal velocity is the maximum falling speed of an object through a fluid (usually it's referring to air). It happens when downward forces (like gravity) on a falling object are balanced by the upwards forces (like air resistance). Since air resistance increases with speed, as an object is accelerated towards the ground by gravity the air resistance acting on it will continue to increase until the magnitude equals gravity. When that happens, there is no longer a net force on the object, and therefore no longer an acceleration.

Hope that helps!
