1) How does an object's speed affect aerodynamics? How can these aerodynamics be optimized?
2) As a rock accelerates upwards, its thrust remains constant, but its acceleration increases. What is the cause of this acceleration?
3) The force of gravity on a 2.0kg rock is twice as great as than a 1kg rock. Why then doesn't the heavier rock fall faster?
4) Explain a situation when the normal force is not equal to the force of gravity.
5) A stone is launched upward into the air. In addition to the force of gravity, the stone is subject to frictional forces due to air resistance. Is the time to reach the top of its flight equal to, smaller, or larger than the time to come back to its original position?
