What is the effect of air resistance on the acceleration of falling objects?

Air resistance decreases the acceleration of falling objects.

What exactly is meant by a "freely falling" object?

An object in free fall falls under gravity alone with no friction.

Which BEST describes what occurs when a body accelerates?

Change in velocity per unit time.

Why does the distance traveled by the ball in each half second after it is released change in the way that it does?

Gravity is pulling down on the ball, so it accelerates down at a steady rate.

If an object falling freely were somehow equipped with an odometer to measure the distance it travels, then the amount of distance it travels each succeeding second would be

It maintains a constant speed, but does not maintain a constant velocity.

Phil Physiker standing at the edge of a cliff throws one ball straight up and another ball straight down, both with the same speed. Neglecting air resistance, which ball hits the ground below with the greater speed?

Neither, both hit with the same speed.

Why does the final speed attained by the ball at the bottom of the inclined plane change in the way that it does when the angle of the incline plane increases?

The ball accelerates at a greater rate for the same duration of time.

If a car moves with a constant velocity, does it also move with a constant speed?

Yes, because constant velocity requires constant speed in the same direction.

As you read this in your chair, how fast are you moving relative to the chair? Relative to the Sun?

You are not moving relative to the chair, but you are moving over 100,000 km/h relative to the Sun.

A freely-falling watermelon falls with constant

acceleration.

Galileo discovered that when air resistance can be neglected, all objects fall with the same

acceleration.

When we are talking about how quickly "how fast" changes, we're talking about

acceleration.

If an object moves with constant acceleration, its velocity must

change by the same amount each second.
