Peanut ran 50 meters in 10 seconds.  What was Peanut's average speed?

• 2 m/s
• 5 km/h
• 5 m/s
• 5 m/s North

If we drop a steel sphere and a ping pong ball, the steel sphere will...

• hit the ground first because it has more mass
• hit the ground second because it takes longer to accelerate 
• hit the ground at the same time as the ping pong ball

The force of __________________ is a type of friction that works against the motion of falling objects.

• Terminal Velocity
• Gravity
• Free Fall
• Air Resistance

The greater the mass of an object,

• the easier the object starts moving.

• the greater its inertia.

• the more balanced it is.

• the more space it takes up.
