Three motion diagrams are shown. Which is a dust particle
settling to the floor at constant speed, which is a ball
dropped from the roof of a building, and which is a
descending rocket slowing to make a soft landing on Mars?
1. d>c>b=a
2. a=b=d>c
3. b=d>c>a
4. d>c>a>b
5. b>a=c=d
Rank in order, from the most to the least, the number of
significant figures in the following numbers. For example,
if b has more than c, c has the same number as a, and a has
more than d, you could give your answer as b > c = a > d.
1. d>c>b=a
2. a=b=d>c
3. b=d>c>a
4. d>c>a>b
5. b>a=c=d
