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 it encounters is proportinal the change in velocity, so when the wad speeds up, air resistance increases

•What happens to the net force acting on it?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

The net force acting on the wad of paper increases because of potential energy, the further the drop, the more the force of the wad in the negative direction

#$&*

•What happens to its acceleration?

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

It will decrease in magnitude.

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

answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> :

Net force and acceleration will increase.
