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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Resistance increases as speed increases.
#$&*
What happens to the net force acting on it?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Net force acting on it increases as well.
#$&*
What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Acceleration decreases as air resistance increases.
#$&*
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the
acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Acceleration will decrease and net force will increase from a higher position.
