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.

When there is no air resistance, objects of different masses dropped from rest

fall with equal accelerations and with equal displacements.

fall with different accelerations and with different displacements.

fall with equal accelerations and with different displacements.

fall with different accelerations and with equal displacements.

If a person weights 100 pounds on Earth, calculate how much that person would weight on Jupiter. (Jupiter has 3 times the amount of gravity than Earth does)

Not enough information is given

Where would you have more mass , on Earth or on the Moon?

IS THE SAME, mass DOESN'T CHANGE

A textbook is dropped from a second floor window and falls to the ground. What happens to the acceleration as the book falls to the ground

the acceleration remains constant

A baseball is thrown up into the air. What happens to the acceleration as the ball rises in the air?

the acceleration remains constant

When an object falls in physics world, what happens?

It accelerates at a constant rate until it hits the ground

It accelerates at a non-constant rate until it hits the ground

It accelerates at a constant rate until it reaches terminal velocity

It accelerates at a non-constant rate until it reaches terminal velocity

Which would hit the ground first if dropped from the same height in a vacuum—a feather or a metal bolt?

They would hit the ground at the same time.

They would be suspended in a vacuum.

If an object is free falling onto the Moon, which of the following would be correct?

It would not encounter any air resistance.

It would accelerate at 9.8 m/s 2

It would not fall because the Moon has no gravity.

It would impact the surface and bounce back into space.

Do free falling objects move at constant velocity or do they accelerate?

Falling objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s 2

Falling object move at constant velocity

Falling objects accelerate at 100 m/s 2

It depends on the mass: heavy objects accelerate, light objects do not

An object in free fall

undergoes a downward acceleration.

has an acceleration of -9.8 m/s 2 .
