1.

A frisbee and a billiard ball are dropped from the roof of a skyscraper at the same time. Why does the billiard ball reach the ground first?

a)

It has a greater weight

b)

It has a greater mass

c)

It is less affected by fluid friction

d)

2.

A frisbee and a billiard ball are dropped on the Moon from the same height, at the same time. Which reaches the ground first?

a)

The frisbee

b)

The billiard ball

c)

Neither, they both land at the same time.

d)

Neither reach the ground. When let go, they float upward because the Moon has less gravity than Earth.
