A heavy sled and a light sled, both moving horizontally with the same kinetic energy, suddenly slide onto a rough patch of snow and eventually come to a stop
The coefficient of kinetic friction between the sleds and the rough snow is the same for both of them. Which of the following statements about these sleds are correct? (There could be more than one correct choice.) A) Both sleds will slide the same distance on the rough snow before stopping. B) The heavy sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the light sled. C) The light sled will slide farther on the rough snow than the heavy sled. D) On the rough snow, the change in kinetic energy will be the same for both sleds. E) The friction force exerted on the sleds by the snow will do the same amount of work on both sleds.

Why must the Sun's rate of fusion gradually rise over billions of years?
A) The Sun becomes less efficient and must increase the rate of fusion to produce the same amount of energy. B) Fusion reactions decrease the overall number of particles in the core, causing the core to shrink, converting gravitational potential energy into thermal energy, and increasing the rate of fusion. C) The radiation produced by fusion reactions that is trapped in the core gradually raises the temperature, increasing the rate of fusion. D) The Sun gets heavier as it gets older, and the stronger inward pull of gravity increases the fusion rate. E) The rate of fusion is not rising; it is actually decreasing over time.
