A crumpled piece of paper hits the ground before a flat sheet of paper because

• the acceleration of gravity is greater on the  crumpled paper.
• there is more air resistance against the flat paper.

According to Newton’s first law of motion, a moving object that is not acted on by an unbalanced force will ..

• remain in motion.
• eventually come to a stop.
• change its momentum.
• accelerate.

An ice skater at rest pushes against a sled at rest, causing both the skater and sled to move away from each other with different accelerations. This is an example best described by

• Newton’s first law of motion for objects at rest.
• Newton’s first law of motion for objects in motion.
• Newton’s second law of motion.
• Newton’s third law of motion.

Which of the following explains the difference between speed and velocity?

• One has motion, and the other does not.
• One has direction, and the other does not.
• One involves time, and the other does not.
• One involves acceleration, and the other does not.
