Rebecca puts her backpack on a fan cart and turns the fan on. She then measures the speed each second afterward. At 10 seconds the cart has a speed of 20 cm per second. How fast will the cart be moving at 12 seconds

• 18 cm per second

• 20 cm per second

• 22 cm per second

• 24 cm per second

A fan cart is moving forward on a frictionless surface. If you change the fan speed from High to Low, what will occur?

• A. The cart will stop moving

• B. The cart will slow down

• C. The cart will keep moving at the same speed

• D. The cart will continue to speed up, but not as quickly as before.
