R U Smarter than an 8th Grader?

Taking online quizzes is a fun diversion and a way to dust off brain cells that you haven’t used in a few years. My only problem with this one is imprecise language on a couple of questions, especially the one dealing with a falling object. When an object falls from a height and hits a surface, the final velocity is zero. SPLAT. That’s not the answer they’re looking for.

You can bet that I’ve run into this issue more than once in my academic career, over-thinking questions and getting trapped in language traps that might be tricks or might be careless wording. The only thing harder than taking a test is writing one.
