Answer the following question given this paragraph: What if you were to drop a bowling ball and a soccer ball at the same time from the same distance above the ground? The bowling ball has greater mass than the basketball, so the pull of gravity on it is greater. Would it fall to the ground faster? No, the bowling ball and basketball would reach the ground at the same time. The reason? The more massive bowling ball is also harder to move because of its greater mass, so it ends up moving at the same acceleration as the soccer ball. This is true of all falling objects. They all accelerate at the same rate due to gravity, unless air resistance affects one object more than another. For example, a falling leaf is slowed down by air resistance more than a falling acorn because of the leaf's greater surface area. You can simulate the effect of air resistance on acceleration due to gravity by doing the interactive animation at this URL: http://www. science-animations. com/support-files/freefall. swf. Q: In the absence of air resistance, all falling objects accelerate at the same rate due to what force? Choices: - velocity - weight - motion - gravity A:
**Answer**
gravity

Answer the following question given this paragraph: Weather makes life interesting. Weather also causes weathering. Weathering is the slow wearing down of rocks on Earth's surface. Wind-blown sand scours rocks like sandpaper. Glaciers of ice scrape across rock surfaces like a file. Even gentle rain may seep into rocks and slowly dissolve them. If the water freezes, it expands. This eventually causes the rocks to crack. Without the atmosphere, none of this weathering would happen. Rocks at the surface would be pristine and unaltered. Q: What is the term for the slow wearing down of rocks on earth's surface? Choices: - slipping - evaporation - experiencing - weathering A:
**Answer**
weathering
