c. books
d. both b and c
5.

A student collects and analyzes data
from the motion of the apple from the
time it rests atop the books until it is just
above the floor. Create a distance (m)
vs. time (s) graph that most closely
represents the motion of the apple for
this brief period of time.

A race car travels around a circular track.
Explain why the car is accelerating even
though the driver maintains a constant
speed.
Your foot pushes down on the
accelerator, but you just don’t feel it.
You are constantly changing direction.
You are speeding up.
You are slowing down
