All falling objects experience some air resistance, the effect of which is to decrease acceleration.When the falling object's acceleration reaches zero, the acceleration stops changing.Therefore, if you drop an object and it falls far enough for this to happen,
A)its speed continues to increase all the way down.
B)its speed reaches a maximum value and then decreases.
C)its speed reaches a maximum value and then doesn't change.
D)its speed reaches a maximum value, decreases, and then increases again.
E)Any of these things could happen.
