Which of the following describes how air resistance affects the motion of a falling object?(1 point) Air resistance may change the direction of a falling object but does not affect its speed. Air resistance may change the direction of a falling object but does not affect its speed. Air resistance opposes the force of gravity and causes falling objects to lose speed once they reach terminal velocity. Air resistance opposes the force of gravity and causes falling objects to lose speed once they reach terminal velocity. Air resistance opposes the force of gravity and causes an object to reach terminal velocity. Air resistance opposes the force of gravity and causes an object to reach terminal velocity. Air resistance works with gravity to pull a falling object towards the Earth. Air resistance works with gravity to pull a falling object towards the Earth.
