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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Magnitude gets larger.
#$&*
• What happens to the net force acting on it?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
It should decrease because Net = Gravity - Air resistance
#$&*
• What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Decreases as the force decreases.
#$&*
• If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :
Depending on the height it may get to the point where resistance = weight and then acceleration would be zero from this point down.
