- 8. Multiple Choice
If an object is free falling onto the Moon, which of the following would be correct?
It would accelerate at 9.8 m/s2
It would not encounter any air resistance.
It would not fall because the Moon has no gravity.
It would impact the surface and bounce back into space.
- 9. Multiple Choice

True
False
- 10. Multiple ChoiceWhich would hit the ground first if dropped from the same height in a vacuum—a feather or a metal bolt?the featherthe metal boltThey would hit the ground at the same time.They would be suspended in a vacuum.
- 11. Multiple ChoiceWhat happens to the velocity of a ball as it is dropped off a cliff?It decreases at a uniform rateIt increases at a uniform rateIt is constantIt increases at a non-uniform rate

Multiple ChoiceDo free falling objects move at constant velocity or do they accelerate?Falling objects accelerate at -9.8 m/s2Falling object move at constant velocityFalling objects accelerate at 100 m/s2It depends on the mass: heavy objects accelerate, light objects do not
- 20. Multiple ChoiceWhat values are always known for a free falling object?vi = 0 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s2vi = -9.8 m/s
a = -9.8 m/s2vi = -9.8 m/s
