In a normal environment, why does a bowling ball and feather hit the ground at different times when dropped from the same height?

• They don't; they hit the ground at the same time.
• One is more dense than the other.
• One is heavier than the other.
• Air resistance 

A ball is thrown in the air with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. How long does it take to reach back to the point it was thrown from?

• 4 seconds 
• 2 seconds 
• 6 seconds 
• 8 seconds 

A ball is thrown up in the air with an initial velocity of 40 m/s. What is the ball's velocity after 2 seconds? 

• 0 m/s 
• 20 m/s traveling upward
• 20 m/s traveling downward
• 40 m/s traveling downward
