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 decreases... That is the force of gravity is constant but as resistance increases it decreases the Fnet
What happens to its acceleration?
answer/question/discussion:
Its acceleration actually decreases.
Its velocity will continue to increase but just not at the same rate.
If it dropped from a much higher point, what would happen to the net force and the acceleration?
answer/question/discussion:
It will decrease, both will as stated before but in a greater quantity as opposed to what it would being dropped only from second story.
air resistance will approach weight, so acceleration will approach zero, and velocity will approach a limiting value called the terminal velocity
