What is air resistance, and how does it affect the motion of objects?
Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through the air, and it increases as the speed of the object increases
Air resistance is the force that supports the motion of objects through the air, and it decreases as the speed of the object increases
Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through the air, and it decreases as the speed of the object increases
Air resistance is the force that supports the motion of objects through the air, and it increases as the speed of the object increases
Air resistance is the force that opposes the motion of objects through the air, and it remains constant regardless of the speed of the object

Why do people crumple paper before throwing it?
Crumpling paper reduces its surface area, minimizing the effect of air resistance and allowing it to travel further
Crumpling paper increases its surface area, maximizing the effect of air resistance and allowing it to travel further
Crumpling paper changes its weight, making it easier to throw
Crumpling paper changes its shape, making it more aerodynamic
Crumpling paper increases its mass, making it more resistant to air resistance

What are balanced forces, and can they change the motion of an object?
Balanced forces are forces that have a net force of zero and do not change the motion of an object
Balanced forces are forces that have a net force of zero but can still change the motion of an object
Balanced forces are forces that have a net force greater than zero and change the motion of an object
Balanced forces are forces that have a net force greater than zero but do not change the motion of an object
Balanced forces are forces that oppose the motion of an object

Can a free body diagram represent the motion of an object?
No, a free body diagram represents the forces acting on an object, not its motion
Yes, a free body diagram represents the motion and forces acting on an object
No, a free body diagram represents the motion of an object, not the forces acting on it
Yes, a free body diagram represents the velocity and acceleration of an object
No, a free body diagram is used to calculate the mass of an object
