A wad of paper is dropped from a second-story balcony and falls through still air to the ground.
As it speeds up, what happens to the air resistance it encounters?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The force of air resistance increases as the speed increases. In other words, as the ball falls through the air it gains speed and the force of air resistance increases as well.

What happens to the net force acting on it?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The net force stays downward, but magnitude decreases as velocity increases.
#$&*
What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The magnitude of acceleration decreases
#$&*
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
The ball will continue to speed up at a lesser and lesser rate. The net force will approach 0 and acceleration will do the same.
