course PHY 121
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?
Has less air resistance
###This should be more air resistance
answer/question/discussion:
• What happens to the net force acting on it?
Becomes less
###Ths is decrease of magnitude
answer/question/discussion:
• What happens to its acceleration?
Speeds up
###This is speeds up
answer/question/discussion:
• If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
The force becomes less and the acceleration increases
###It will speed up but at a lesser rate
