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?
it will increase
What happens to the net force acting on it?
it will decrease due to decreased acceleration due to wind resistance
What happens to its acceleration?
decreases due to increased wind resistance
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
the same thing would happen, but it would be more likely to reach its terminal velocity in which there is no acceleration, due to the force of gravity not being able to overcome the wind resistance.
