Can you then write in your book the title 5 Things I have learnt from the exam and then list 5 things you have learnt!
Falling!
gravity
To start, the dog is falling slowly (it has not had time to speed up).
There is really only one force acting on the dog, the force of gravity.
Air resistance As the dog falls faster, another force becomes bigger air resistance.
gravity
The force of gravity is still bigger than the air resistance, so the dog continues to accelerate (get faster)
Air resistance
The dog stops getting faster (accelerating) and falls at constant speed.
gravity
Terminal Speed
The dog will continue to fall at constant speed (called the terminal speed) until.

It gets faster by 10 m/s every second (10 m/s2) This number is called g, the acceleration due to gravity.
