4.

A car and a bus are moving at 50mph. Which one has more kinetic energy?

a)

Car

b)

Bus

c)

Neither

d)

They have an equal amount

5.

The slower an object moves, the more kinetic energy it has.

a)

True

b)

False

6.

An object's kinetic energy is directly related to what 2 things?

a)

Speed

b)

Distance

c)

Motion

d)
