Jody observes a falcon diving toward a flying duck. Why does the falcon fold its wings close to its body? (1 point) Responses By reducing its surface area, it decreases air resistance and increases its velocity. By reducing its surface area, it decreases air resistance and increases its velocity. By changing its body shape, the falcon allows gravity to exert more attraction and thus increases its velocity. By changing its body shape, the falcon allows gravity to exert more attraction and thus increases its velocity. By reducing its surface area, it increases air resistance and increases its velocity. By reducing its surface area, it increases air resistance and increases its velocity. By changing its body shape, it changes its mass and increases its velocity.
