Why are objects that fall near Earth’s surface rarely in free fall?


a. Gravity does not act on objects near the Earth’s surface.
b. Air exerts forces on falling objects near Earth’s surface.
c. The objects do not reach terminal velocity.
d. The objects can be pushed upward by gravity.

Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density 0.850g/cm3) falling through air, if its radius is 8.00 cm and its dragcoefficient is 0.500. (The density of air is 1.20 kg/m3.)

From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed inthe absence of air resistance?

(a)Estimate the terminal speed of a wooden sphere (density 0.830 g/cm3) falling through the air, taking its radius as 8 cm and its drag coefficient is 0.500.

(b) From what height would a freely falling object reach this speed in the absence of air resistance?
