Question:

These are the speed–time graphs for two falling balls:

a. Determine the terminal velocity of the plastic ball.
b. Both balls are of the same size and shape but the metal ball has a greater mass.
Explain, in terms of Newton’s laws of motion and the forces involved, why the plastic ball reaches a constant velocity but the metal ball does not.
c. Explain why both balls have the same initial acceleration.
