17. 16. • The three vehicles shown below are all traveling at a speed of 15m/s, but only the pick up truck has a changing velocity • The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck — • A can accelerate faster than the other two vehicles • B is traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles • C is traveling on a curve in the road • D needs a large amount of force to move

18. 17. • Two boxes and their masses are shown below. • Which of the following situations shows work being done? • A A student is sitting in a chair and holding both boxes. • B A student is holding the large box 1 m above the floor. • C A student is standing and holding the small box. • D A student is lifting the small box 0.5 m from the floor to a • table.

19. 18. For an investigation, a student measures the speed of a cart as it rolls down a ramp. The student then records data in the table below. Which of these best explains the student’s data? AThe speed of the cart decreases as the cart rolls down the ramp because of friction between the cart and the ramp. BThe speed of the cart increases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the force acting on the cart is greater than the force of gravity. CThe speed of the cart increases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the forces acting on the cart are unbalanced. D The speed of the cart decreases as the cart rolls down the ramp because the forces acting on the cart are balanced.

20. 19. Two cars with different masses travel at the same speed down a hill toward a stop sign. What will happen when both cars apply brakes at the same time to stop?
