If it were not for air resistance, why would it be dangerous to go outdoors on rainy days?
Why as mass increased, the terminal velocity increased? Does it mean that the air resistance force must increase to equal the heavier weight?
A football is thrown by a quarterback (from shoulder level) to a receiver downfield, who catches it at shoulder level. At what point is the ball's speed at a minimum? (assume air resistance to be negligible).
A.
(a) just after leaving the quarterback's hand.
B.
(b) just before arriving at the receiver's hand.
C.
(c) at the top of the trajectory.
D.
(d) the speed is constant throughout the entire trajectory.
