4.
Newton's Second Law states.........................
a)
that an object in motion, stays in motion; an object at rest stays at rest. 
b)
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction.
c)
that acceleration occurs when a force acts upon an object. 
5.

Planets do not twinkle because

a)

they emit light of a constant intensity

b)

Their distance from the earth does not change the time

c)

They are very far away from the earth resulting in decrease in intensity of light

Two baseballs are thrown from the roof of a house with the same

initial speed, one is thrown up, and the other is down. Compare the

speeds of the baseballs just before they hit the ground.

a)

The one thrown up moves faster because the initial velocity is up

b)

The one thrown down moves faster because the initial velocity is

down

c)

They both move with the same speed

d)

The one thrown up moves faster because it has greater

acceleration
