1. Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?
Chapter Word Problems and Vertical Motion
4.4 Students derive derivative formulas and use them to find the derivatives of algebraic, trigonometric, inverse trigonometric, exponential, and logarithmic functions.

Which weighs more, a pound of feathers or a pound of bricks?
If you drop a brick and a feather at the same time from the same height in a vacuum, which will hit the ground first?
Kalis punted a football (in a vacuum, everything is in a vacuum) straight up in the air and it took 4 seconds to hit the ground. Shrout punted a ball that went 50 yards down the field but also took 4 seconds to hit the ground. Who punted the ball higher?
