lemonade from a 5°C refrigerator and

leaves the pitcher in a 20°C room for

several hours. Which of the following

statements best describes the flow of

energy during this time?

Graph title is Motion of Four Cars. The X-axis title is Time, seconds and ranges from zero to five in increments of one. The Y axis is Distance, meters and ranges from zero to twenty five in increments of five. The four straight lines on the graph representing the motion of Car A, Car B, Car C, and Car D all begin at zero minutes, zero meters. The curves do not touch or cross each other.

The distance each car has traveled after five seconds is:

Car A -- 25 meters

Car B -- 20 meters

Car C -- 11 meters

Car D -- 5 meters


Which car had an average speed of 4 m/s?

a)

Car A

b)

Car B

c)

Car C

d)

Car D

10.

When the ball in motion collides with the others ...

a)

... it and the others will sway because of the force of impact.

b)

... it will bounce back because the others have more inertia.

c)

... it will stop while a ball of equal mass at the opposite side will move away because of equal-opposite reactions.

d)

... the force, mass and acceleration will equalize.
