• At rest

• In motion

• Constantly Accelerating

• Depending on its mass

1. Which scientist proposed that objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass (neglecting air resistance)?

• Isaac Newton

• Albert Einstein

• Galileo Galilei

• Aristotle

1. Which of the following describes Galileo’s view of horizontal motion?

• Objects naturally come to rest.

• Objects continue in motion unless acted upon by an external force.

• Heavier objects move faster.

• Motion is influenced solely by the object's material composition.

1. What did Galileo prove about projectile motion?

• Motion is only vertical.

• Motion is composed of both horizontal and vertical components.

• Motion is influenced only by air resistance.

• 
  Objects fall at different speeds depending on their shape.

1. What is an example of Galileo’s principle in everyday life?

• A rolling ball stops due to friction.

• A rock falling faster than a leaf due to air resistance.

• An astronaut floating in space.

• A book staying at rest on a table.
