A log was cut from a tree and put in
water. The log floated on its side so
that half the log was above the water
surface. Another log was cut from the
same tree. This log was twice as long
and twice as wide. How does the
larger log float compared with the
smaller log? Circle the best answer
A More than half of the larger log
floats above the water surface.
B Half of the larger log floats above the water surface.
C Less than half of the larger log floats above the water surface.
Explain your thinking. Describe the "rule" or the reasoning you used for your answer.

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.
