A student releases a baseball and a bowling ball from the same height at the exact same time. 


What will happen?

The balls will hit the ground at the same time because gravity accelerates all objects at the same rate.

100

If a ball rolls at a constant rate on a flat surface, the motion is due to ________ forces. 

A ) gravitational

B ) frictional

C ) electromagnetic

D) balanced 

Balanced 

 
*movement can be balanced if the object goes at a constant rate on flat surface and does not change its current movement*
