Question

Two objects have the same size and shape, but one is much heavier than the other. When they are dropped simultaneously from a tower, they reach the ground at the same time (assuming that there is no air resistance), but the heavier one has a greater

speed
acceleration
none of the above
all of these

Answer 1

• Momentum (None of the above)

Step-by-step explanation:

The two objects free-fall at the same rate of acceleration, thus giving them the same speed when they hit the ground. The heavier object however has more momentum since momentum takes into account both the speed and the mass of the object (p=m*v).

Answer 2

None of the above.

The correct answer would be momentum
