Question

A 5 kg bowling ball, a 0.25 kg baseball, and a 0.05 kg golf ball are dropped from a 100-meter high building. A camera catches the motion of the balls as they pass specific markers (in meters, m) on the building. The times (in seconds, s) that each object passes the markers are listed in the table below. Which of the following conclusions is true?
A.Objects of different shapes fall at the same rate.
B.Light objects fall faster than heavy ones.
C.Heavy objects fall faster than light ones.
D.All objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Answer 1

Answer:

D.All objects fall at the same rate regardless of mass.

Explanation:

The balls all have the same shape, but different masses. The data in the table show that they pass each marker at the same time. Therefore, they are falling at the same rate or velocity, regardless of mass.
