Air resistance is the friction force of air on a falling object. This force is opposite to the direction of motion of the object. A student designs four parachutes holding a clothes pin. For each parachute, the student records the time the clothes pin takes to reach the ground from a height of 4 meters. Based on the data collected, which relationship can the student determine?

• how a change in the size of the clothes pin changes the direction of air resistance

• how a change in the speed of the clothes pin changes the direction of air resistance

• how a change in the weight of the parachute affects the amount of air resistance

• how a change in the size of the parachute affects the amount of air resistance
