Humorous exam answers!



Hi, group. I had to write to share with you a funny exam answer. I know that you have all had them. On this exam, I gave an example of a situation and they were to use one of Newton's Laws to explain why it happened that way.

One student answered, in part, "When an object is in motion, it stays in motion until it is distracted by another force."

I had to giggle!
