| 9584839366 | Two, different massed, objects get dropped at the same height, which one reaches the ground first (no external forces Ex: Air Resitence)? | They hit the ground at the same time because each object has different forces, but the lighter object speeds up faster than the larger object (but the larger object has a greater force once its moving) (Kinematics & Free Fall Q2) | 4 | |
