Imagine you're racing toy carts with Ava and Kai! What statement best compares the velocity vectors for Ava's cart at points A and C on the graph below?

• Vector A should be shorter than Vector C because the object has been moving for less time at point A than point C.

• Vector A should be shorter than Vector C because the object is moving at a slower speed at point A than point C.

• Vector A should be pointing left and Vector C should be pointing right because the object is moving different directions at these times.

Liam and Charlotte are racing toy cars on a track! Which statement below best supports the moment when Liam's car zooms ahead with the biggest burst of speed?

• This is when the object has the largest increase in speed.

• This is when the object has the largest decrease in speed.

• This is when the object increases speed from 0, which takes the most kinetic energy

• This is when the object decreases speed to 0, which takes the most kinetic energy.

In a thrilling physics showdown, Cart A, driven by Michael, collides with Cart B, piloted by Rohan, which is initially at rest. After the epic collision, Cart A slows down while Cart B speeds up. What happens to the kinetic energy between Michael's Cart A and Rohan's Cart B during this exciting encounter?

• The energy remains the same in Cart A, it has nothing to do with the energy in Cart B.

• The energy is converted from Cart A to Cart B

• The energy is transferred from Cart A to Cart B.

• We cannot infer anything about the energy of the carts, only their speed.
