According to the Law of Gravity, what factor(s) determine gravitational force? SC.6.P.13.2
It depends on the weight of each object.
It depends on the density of each object.
It depends on the distance between the objects and the speed at which they are moving.
It depends on the distance between the objects and the mass of each object.

A high-speed collision between two vehicles causes more damage than a low-speed collision.
What is the reason for this? SC.6.P.11.1-Gap
Vehicles traveling at a high speed have no potential energy.
Vehicles traveling at a low speed have no potential energy.
Vehicles traveling at a high speed have more kinetic energy than vehicles traveling at lower speeds.
Vehicles traveling at a low speed have more kinetic energy than vehicles traveling at higher speeds.
Look closely at the illustration below, which shows two groups of particles moving at different speeds.
Which statement correctly describes the energy of the particles in the illustration? SC.6.P.11.1-Gap

The particles on the left have more kinetic energy than the particles on the right.
None of the particles have kinetic energy.
None of the particles have potential energy.
