A bus leaves Davis at noon on its way to Merced. It travels at 60 km/hr for 30 minutes, then 100 km/hr for the next hour, and 30 km/hr for the final 20 minutes. After a 10 minute break in Merced, it travels back to Davis at a constant speed. It finally reaches Davis at 4:00 pm. How much was its return speed?

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.
