Bonus: We have looked at scenarios under many ideal conditions. In reality when an object falls for long enough it reaches terminal velocity meaning its velocity will not increase any farther. Which of the following might explain why terminal velocity occurs?
The air resistance hits a point where it balances out with gravity leaving a net force of zero
The structure of the object would break down if it went faster than terminal velocity
There is a time limit for how long an object can accelerate for
The air molecules beneath the object cannot be compressed
