When an object is dropped from a tower,what is the effect of the air resistance as it falls?
A)does positive work
B)increases the object's kinetic energy
C)increases the object's potential energy
D)None of the above choices are valid.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Air resistance acts to oppose the motion of the falling object, slowing it down and converting some of its kinetic energy into heat energy. However, this does not result in a positive work or an increase in potential energy. Therefore, none of the given choices are valid.
