A model for climate change predicts that global temperatures will continue to rise. Soon after the model is presented a town has a massive snow storm. what does this tell us about the model? A) it might confirm or refute the model, depending on what the temperatures normally were in that town.

B) it neither confirms nor refuted the model because climate and weather are different

C) it refuted the model because the temperatures are colder, not warmer

D) it confirms the model because, climate change predicts more precipitation

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.
