Two Great Snipe birds are migrating. Both birds have a mass of 100 grams and are flying at 90 kilometers per hour. Bird R is flying 2.0 km above the ground, and Bird Q is flying 2.5 km above the ground.

Based on the information above, which statement best describes the energy of the two birds?

• Bird Q and Bird R have the same kinetic energy and potential energy.

• Bird Q and Bird R have the same kinetic energy but different potential energy.

• Bird Q and Bird R have no kinetic energy but have the same potential energy.

• Bird Q and Bird R have the same potential energy but different kinetic energy

A student who was training for a cross country race jogged for 2.0 hours and covered a distance of 14.0 kilometers. What was the average speed of the student?

• 28.0 km/hr

• 7.0 km/hr

• 12.0 km/hr

• 0.14 km/hr

The diagram represents two students pushing and pulling an object in the same direction. Which statement best describes the result of the forces?

• The object will not move because the forces are not the same.

• The object will move in the direction of the combined forces.

• The lesser force applied is not enough to move the object.

• The combined forces on the object cancels each other out.
