Which would fall with greater acceleration in a vacuum—a leaf or a stone?

They would accelerate at the same rate.

It is difficult to determine without more information.

If a freely falling object were somehow equipped with a speedometer, its speed reading would increase each second by

a rate that depends on its initial speed.

A ball is thrown upwards and caught when it comes back down. In the absence of air resistance, the speed of the ball when caught would be

the same as the speed it had when thrown upwards.

less than the speed it had when thrown upwards.

more than the speed it had when thrown upwards.
