Students set up an experiment with different small objects and a tabletop covered in ice so that friction is not a factor. The students give each object a short push to start it moving across the top of the table and record the resulting speed of each object. Select TWO factors that have the greatest effect on the speed of the objects.
Force of the push
Shape of the object
Length of the tabletop
Mass/Weight of the object
Time the object was sliding

The motion reversed
The motion slowed down
The motion remained constant
