The picture below shows a science model made with a balloon, cord, and radiosonde. Image showing a science model made with a balloon; at the bottom of the balloon is a cord with a radiosonde attached to it.

Which of these is most likely the function of the science model?

To change the density of air
To increase the humidity in air
To reduce the atmospheric pressure
To predict extreme weather conditions

Since the person above didn't answer correctly I will, the correct option is (D) this is because the picture shown is of a weather balloon and the purpose of this device is to predict weather and its conditions

Hope this helped! (: Have a nice day

air exerts forces on falling objects near earth’s surface.

explanation:

the term 'free falls' refer to object that are falling towards the earth, in a situation in which gravity is the only force acting on the object.

for an object in free fall, the acceleration is constant (g, the gravitational acceleration), and so the velocity of the object constantly increases.

for objects near earth's surface, there is always another force acting on the object: the resistance due to the air. this force is opposed to the direction of fall of the object, and it is proportional to the velocity of the object, so as the object falls down, this force increases up to a point when it balances the force of gravity, and the object continues its motion at constant velocity (called terminal velocity). since in this case gravity is not the only force acting on the object, we are not in a situation of free fall.
