How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance..............

[From: ] [author: ] [Date: 12-09-20] [Hit: ]
Weight remains constant right from the start, but drag starts at 0 and increases with velocity.When the drag equals the weight, terminal velocity has been reached. No further acceleration occurs on the falling body, it is then dropping at a constant rate.......
How does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters before it reaches terminal velocity? And, how does the weight of a falling body compare with the air resistance it encounters after it reaches terminal velocity?
Just double checking myself on this one. Had so much physics today that I just can't wrap my brain around a simpler problem. It's just sounding like gibberish to me right now. Thanks for your help. :D

Up to terminal velocity, weight will exceed drag (air resistance to movement).
Weight remains constant right from the start, but drag starts at 0 and increases with velocity.
When the drag equals the weight, terminal velocity has been reached. No further acceleration occurs on the falling body, it is then dropping at a constant rate.
