• True

• False

• Depends on the object

• False

• Science can't answer this question

• True

• False

• You calling me fat?

Generally speaking, the more force you apply to an object, the faster it will accelerate.

• True

• False

• Unless the object is a snail

If I throw a ball at the wall, the wall will hit the ball

• With less force

• With more force

• With an equal amount of force

• I'm not allowed to throw the ball in the house, so I cannot answer this question

If I run into a wall, the wall hits me back with an equal amount of force. How come I bounce back but the wall doesn't move?

• Because I broke through the wall like the Kool-Aid Man

• The wall is already accelerating

• The wall hit me with more force

• The wall has more mass

If I hit a golf ball in space, the ball will travel forever (assuming nothing stops it). The ball will not accelerate forever because

• It is already slowing down

• The force determines the maximum speed

• Space has no wind resistance

• Objects in space cannot accelerate

If all objects accelerate at the same rate, why don't a feather and bowling ball travel together when dropped at the same time?

• Wind resistance on the bowling ball

• Wind resistance on the feather

• The bowling ball is heavier

• Feathers fly, obviously

• Same speed, different velocity

• Different speed, same velocity

• Same speed, same velocity

• Different speed, different velocity

All objects in free fall accelerate at 10 m/s². If I drop a rock off a bridge, how fast will the rock be accelerating after 8 seconds?

• 80 m/s²

• 40 m/s²

• 10 m/s²

• 160 m/s²
