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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It increases.
#$&*
What happens to the net force acting on it?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It decreases.
#$&*
What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It decreases.
#$&*
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It would do the same thing but at different rates.

@&
The air resistance would continue to increase as the paper sped up.
Is it possible in this case, where the object starts from rest, for the air resistance to exceed the force exerted by gravity?
If air resistance did exceed the force exerted by gravity what would happen to the paperwad's speed?

@&
Good answers, but a more specific answer is expected on that last question.
It would be a good idea for you to amplify that answer. The questions I've inserted should help.
