If an object is changing direction but maintaining a constant speed, it is

• accelerating

• falling

• stopping

• speeding

When you are driving and look at the speedometer to check how fast you are going, you are checking your

• instantaneous speed

• average speed

• velocity

• acceleration

If air resistance is negligible, (‘negligible’ means it’s so small it has NO effect), which of the following objects will fall faster on Earth?

• all objects fall at the same rate

• a baseball

• a feather

• a bowling ball
