Question

which describes an object’s speed in free fall? the object accelerates until it reaches its terminal velocity. the object falls at a constant speed because only one force acts on it. the object falls faster and faster until it strikes the ground. the object speeds up and then stops when air resistance equals gravity.

Answer 1

the only thing that influences a free fall is gravity. air resistance can change how an object falls. an object falling continues to accelerate because of gravity in other words as long as there is no air resistance it will continue falling faster and faster. my explanation is because of newtons third law, for every action there is an oposite and equal reaction. in other words the earth will pull the object and the object will pull the earth. a fun fact is because the moon pulls on the earth the moon is actually the cause of tides.

Answer 2

Answer;

the object falls faster and faster until it strikes the ground.

Explanation;

-When objects are in free fall, the only force acting on these objects is gravity. Free fall thus occurs when an object is dropped in air that experiences no air resistance.

-Freely falling objects will fall with same acceleration due to the force of gravity and thus the object falls faster and faster as the speed increases, the net force acting on the objects is weight, their weight-to-mass ratios are always the same, their acceleration is g which is as a result of the force of gravity.
