Oh lord, nah I haven't learned those concepts yet. It is a conceptual physics course, but only an introductory one. Thank you for pointing out the problem I had with the air resistance. That really helped a lot!
That is true. I have a lot of material to review, so as long as I can have some way of understanding it, then its better than nothing :) Thanks for the help brother!
I realize now I was thinking about the question wrong in 2 ways. I didn't take into account air resistance because I thought that C made it a nonfactor for the other answers(just didn't take my time to think it through), and I also was considering 2 different people falling at 2 different...

I guess it means that they would be reaching terminal velocity and that would make sense, but I considered each of the situations absent of air resistance. Can you explain where I went wrong computationally?
I'm unsure what you mean. It was a question on one of my previous exams, and I need to understand why I got it wrong because I am sure a similar question will be on the final. :/
I selected A.) but the answer is B.)
My logic was this: V1 = 10m/s, T = 5s, so A = 2
V2 = 20m/s, T = 5s, so A = 4
Am I applying the wrong equation to the situation, or simply what am I getting wrong?
