You drop a potato off your patio. When the potato has fallen 1 m, you drop a second potato. As the two potatoes continue to fall, what happens to their velocities? Both increase at the same rate. The velocity of the first potato increase faster than the velocity of the second. The velocity of the second potato increases faster than the velocity of the first. Both velocities stay constant.

You drop a potato off your patio. When the potato has fallen 1 m, you drop a second potato. As the two
potatoes continue to fall, what happens to their velocities?
Both increase at the same rate.
The velocity of the first potato increase faster than the velocity of the second.
The velocity of the second potato increases faster than the velocity of the first.
Both velocities stay constant.

Haley's comet completes one elliptical orbit once every 75 years. As it comes closest to the Sun, which of
the following statements is incorrect?
The gravitational pull between the comet and the sun increase.
The gravitational pull on the comet by the Sun is equal to the pull on the Sun by the comet.
Its tangential velocity increases until it gets to its closest point to the Sun.
The comet naturally tends to fly towards the Sun. If the Sun was no longer there, the comet's orbit would be
unaffected.
You can't fool me, all the above are true.
