Horizontal forces act on two boxes, initially at rest, as shown. The magnitude and direction of horizontal forces are also shown. What happens to box X and box Y as a result of the forces?

• Box X starts moving, speeding up, Box Y remains at rest.

• Box X starts moving at a constant speed, and Box Y remains at rest.

• Box X starts moving at a constant speed, and Box Y starts moving, speeding up.

• Box X starts moving, speeding up, Box Y starts moving at a constant speed.

An engineer is collecting data on four different satellites orbiting Earth. The engineer records the satellites' distances from Earth in kilometers (km) and their forces due to gravity in Newtons (N). Estimate the force due to gravity for satellite number 2.

• equal to 17,000 Newtons

• greater than 17,000 Newtons

• less than 17,000 Newtons

Instruments located around Earth record seismic wave activity during an earthquake. The epicenter of the earthquake and locations of the four instrument stations around the Earth are shown. Select two statements that explain fewer waves recorded at some stations.

• Part of the Earth's interior bent some of the waves.

• Different materials in Earth reflect some of the waves.

• Some waves are blocked by water on the Earth's surface.

• Weather events near the stations can prevent waves from being recorded.
