A 50-pound bowling ball and an 8-pound bowling ball are dropped from a tall building. Which ball will hit first?
[B]They will land at the same time[/B]
[B]How fast something falls due to gravity is determined by a number known as the "acceleration of gravity", which is 9.81 m/s^2 at the surface of our Earth. In one second, [I]any object[/I]’s downward velocity will increase by 9.81 m/s because of gravity. This is just the way gravity works - it accelerates everything at exactly the same rate.[/B]
A car is traveling on a freeway at 50 mph with the cruise control set at 50 mph. Another car is traveling at 90 mph with the cruise control set at 90 mph. Which car has a higher acceleration?
Acceleration means a change in speed.
Neither car has a change in speed, [B]so both cars have the same acceleration which is 0[/B]
