A student observes what happens when two balls are dropped from the same height. Before the investigation, the student predicts a heavier golf ball will reach the ground faster than a lighter tennis ball. Is the student’s prediction correct?

• The prediction is incorrect because the lighter tennis ball will reach the ground faster than the heavier golf ball.

• The prediction is correct because an object with greater mass will fall more quickly than an object with lighter mass.

• The prediction is correct because gravity pulls the heavier object down faster.

• The prediction is incorrect because both objects, regardless of mass, hit the ground at the same time.
