Air resistance
and _____________________.
29. Which shows the path an object would follow if pushed off a table.

Projectile motion
What is the name given to this type of motion? _________________ ________________
30. A feather and a golf ball fall from 10 meters above the ground. Which hits the ground first?
Using the terms air resistance and terminal velocity explain why?
The golf ball, because it has a smaller surface area so there is less air resistance.
mass
