Decreases

• What happens to its acceleration?

Decreases

• If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
At some point, F_net would be almost zero and acceleration would become almost zero resulting in terminal velocity.
