Card 1 of 3
Why is SUVAT inapplicable for the entire motion of an object falling through air?
A
The acceleration is uniformly increasing because the drag force becomes larger as the object speeds up.
B
The acceleration is non-uniform (not constant) because the drag force changes with speed.
C
The acceleration is uniform (constant) because the object's weight does not change with speed.
D
The acceleration is zero because the drag force balances the object's weight throughout the fall.
