A book sitting on a table has potential energy because of the gravitational pull of Earth. Which of the following would increase the potential energy of the book?

• Sliding it across the table

• Opening it to the middle

• Dropping it on the floor

• Lifting it to a high shelf

The graph shows the kinetic energy of both a school bus and a pickup truck as they move at various speeds.

Under which of the following conditions can the pickup truck have more kinetic energy than the school bus?

• The pickup truck is moving at 1 m/s and the school bus is moving at 2 m/s.

• The pickup truck is moving at 4 m/s and the school bus is moving at 2 m/s.

• The pickup truck is moving at 2 m/s and the school bus is moving at 3 m/s.

• The pickup truck is moving at 4 m/s and the school bus is moving at 3 m/s.
