A bobcat weighing 72 N jumps out of a tree.
What is the drag force on the bobcat when it falls at its terminal velocity?
What is the drag force on the when it falls at 75% of its terminal velocity?
What is the acceleration of the bobcat when it falls at its terminal velocity?
What is the acceleration when it falls at 75% of its terminal velocity?

72N
9/16 of 72N
Zero
7/16 of 10 m/s^2
If this is your homework you should have been taught the theory to answer it. You may need to explain your working and complete the calculations. I'm not doing that for you.

You need to know F = ma (where a = 10 m/s/s) and
And also that when forces are balanced there is no acceleration.
You also need to know how to calculate the friction on the bob cat.
