- 27. Multiple Choice
10. If a bowling ball and a feather are simultaneously dropped from the same height in a room void of air, which object will reach the ground first?
A. The feather because it is lightweight.
B. The bowling ball because heavier objects fall faster than lighter objects.
C. The bowling ball because the feather will drift off from its vertical path downward.
D. The objects will reach the ground at the same time since they accelerated at the same rate from rest simultaneously.

Amira puts two books on a table as shown in the diagram. The books are the same size and mass. Which book exerts greater pressure on the table?
A
B
- 38. Multiple Choice
Which sentence is the MOST RIGHT fit for this image?
Flat shoes are better than heels.
Pressure distribution is less for flat shoes.
In muddy area, it's not a good idea to wear heels.
Less the area, less is the pressure. So heels create less pressure.
