Asst 23 seed 1
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:
As the wad of paper speeds, up the air resistance becomes greater until some point the downward velocity and the atmosphere resistance kind of balance out so9 the acceleration will stop and a constant velocity will be maintained.
What happens to the net force acting on it?
answer/question/discussion:
The force acting on the wad of paper will also balance out because the velocity will become constant and there isnt any motion to help increase any variables
What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion:
The acceleration will stop accelerating thus the velocity will be steady
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion:
If the wad of paper is dropped from a higher point, the velocity we are talking about, terminal velocity, will be achieved at a higher altitude but will be the same terminal velocity as the lower drop point because the mass is the same and this velocity is attained before striking the ground.

I probably wouldn't have known much about this maybe if the web site hadn't been down so I worked on the q & a before the seed
You understand this, one way or the other. Very good.
