Answer

It doesn't affect the object's motion.

Question 33

A ball is dropped from a height. As it falls through the air, what happens to its speed, and why?

Accepted Answer

The ball's speed decreases because air resistance pushes against it in the opposite direction of its motion.

Answer

The ball's speed increases because air resistance pushes it downwards.

Answer

The ball's speed decreases because air resistance pushes it upwards.
