Why the air resistance decrease the acceleration on falling object?
Air resistance applies a force opposite to the direction of motion of a falling object. This force opposes the force of gravity, reducing the net force acting on the object, and hence reducing its acceleration. As the object's speed increases, the air resistance force also increases, further hindering its acceleration.
