Decreases. Air resistance will slow a falling object to its terminal velocity, placing a limit on its acceleration.
Well I don't know. Let's actually LOOK at the picture and see if that helps.
A, B, C, and D all have the same TOTAL length, but A has the most waves crammed into that same total length.
By golly, that means the length of <u><em>each</em></u> wave in A must be shorter than each wave in B, C, or D.
The correct choice is <em> A </em>. Looking at the picture did the trick !

The potential energy of the object depends on
- the height of the object with respect to some reference points,
- the mass of the object,
- the gravitational field the object is in.

Hope it helps ~
Let's call the constant acceleration a.
At a time t, its speed will thus be v(t)=a*t+v0 where v0 is its initial speed, here 10 m/s. Hence v(t)=a*t+10.
From there we can deduce the position P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t+p0 where p0 is the initial position, here 0.
Hence P(t)=a*t^2/2+10t
Let's call T the time at which it's at 50 m/s, we know that P(T)=225m and that v(T)=50 m/s hence a*T+10=50 thus a=40/T and P(T)=(40/2+10)T=30T
Hence T=225/30=7.5
It took 7.5 seconds
