MCAT Question of the Day

    Q:

    		 Air resistance is usually neglected for objects in motion, however it can be formalized to the equation F=-cv2, where c is the air constant and v is the velocity. Which of the following correctly states the relationship of the graphs of velocity over time for a free-falling object with and without air resistance?
    		 

    A

    		 Without air resistance, the graph is linear. With air resistance, the graph is non-linear.

    B

    		 Without air resistance, the graph is non-linear. With air resistance, the graph is linear.

    C

    		 Both graphs will appear linear.

    D

    		 Both graphs will appear non-linear.
