The force of the water changed the sailboat’s direction of motionD. The sailboat increased its acceleration across the pond • A. The force of the wind changed the sailboat’s direction of motion

FINAL JEOPARDY • The acceleration rate of a free-falling object near Earth is 9.8 m/s2. How would this compare with the acceleration rate of a free-falling object at 10km above the Earth’s surface? The acceleration would be less because the distance between the center of the object and the center of the Earth is greater so the gravitational force is less.
