How does the acceleration due to gravity affect the velocity of a falling object?

The acceleration due to gravity increases the velocity of a falling object, causing it to fall faster over time.

The velocity of a falling object remains constant regardless of gravity.

The acceleration due to gravity decreases the velocity of a falling object.

Gravity has no effect on the velocity of a falling object.

Explain how air resistance affects the speed of a falling object.

Air resistance only affects objects that are not falling vertically.

Air resistance increases the speed of a falling object.

Air resistance has no effect on the speed of a falling object.

Air resistance decreases the speed of a falling object until it reaches terminal velocity.

What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed in freefall?

Instantaneous speed is the speed at a specific moment; average speed is total distance divided by total time.

Average speed is the speed at a specific moment; instantaneous speed is total distance divided by total time.

Instantaneous speed is calculated by averaging speeds over time.

Instantaneous speed is always greater than average speed.

How does the mass of an object influence its freefall speed in the absence of air resistance?

Objects with more mass experience greater air resistance.

Heavier objects fall faster than lighter ones.

The mass of an object does not influence its freefall speed in the absence of air resistance.

Mass increases the acceleration of freefall.
