True. In free fall, all objects experience the same acceleration due to gravity regardless of their mass or air resistance. The acceleration due to gravity is approximately 9.8 m/s^2.
False. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is not a form of energy; rather, it is related to an object's mass and its resistance to acceleration or deceleration.
False
False. At least the way "acceleration" is described in physics, acceleration involves any change in velocity - so the "accelerating" object can speed up, slow down, or simply change direction.
False. Acceleration is a measure of how quickly an object's velocity is changing, which includes changes in speed, direction, or both. So, acceleration can occur even if the speed of an object remains constant but its direction changes.
False. A negative slope on a velocity vs. time graph indicates that the object is decelerating, not that it is not accelerating. Acceleration and deceleration are both forms of acceleration, but in opposite directions.
False
true
True. Air resistance is proportional to surface area, with larger surface areas creating more drag as the object moves through the air. This can result in the object experiencing greater resistance and slowing down.
False. Inertia is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its state of motion. It is not a form of energy; rather, it is related to an object's mass and its resistance to acceleration or deceleration.
False. The acceleration of an object is directly proportional to the net force acting on it. Newton's 2nd Law: F = ma where F is the force, m is the mass, and a is the acceleration. __________________________________________________ The acceleration of a body is "inversely" proportional to its mass.

In the absence of air resistance, all objects fall with the same acceleration due to gravity, regardless of their mass. This acceleration is approximately 9.81 m/s^2 near the surface of the Earth.
Technically, its false.... Terminal Velocity is defined as "the constant maximum velocity reached by an object falling through the atmosphere under the attraction of gravity". The crash is simple a result of and the conclusion to the fall....
