Four different objects are placed on a number line at 0. The chart describes the motion of each object. Object
Motion
W
3 units left, then 3 units right
Х
6 units right, then 18 units right
Y
8 units left, then 24 units right
Z
16 units right, then 8 units left
Using the information in the chart, the distance and displacement of each object can be determined. Which object has
a distance that is three times as great as its displacement?
W
Х
Z

Explanation:

I took the test on edge and got it right. Good luck :)

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.
