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: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :The air resistance increases.

• What happens to the net force acting on it?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : The net force would be constant.

• What happens to its acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : The acceleration due to gravity will slow.

• If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> : The net force would be constant the acceleration would slow due to increased resistance.
