A stone is thrown downward from a tall cliff and hits the ground below. If it were instead thrown straight upward with the same initial speed, it would end up striking the ground below (neglect air resistance) with

1) the same speed. 2) less speed. 3) greater speed. If air resistance IS a factor, then when the stone is moving downward it will undergo 4) an increase in acceleration as velocity increases. 5) a decrease in acceleration as velocity increases. 6) a constant acceleration.

Why might increasing the temperature alter the rate of a chemical reaction?

A) The molecules will have a higher kinetic energy and bump into one another harder. B) The molecules are less reactive at higher temperatures. C) The molecules will more likely combine with other atoms at high temperature to save space. D) The density decreases as a function of temperature and this leads to an increase in volume which drops the rate of reaction. E) none of the above
