Answer the following statement(s) true (T) or false (F)

1. A car moves backward 10 m in 2 s at a steady rate. The car’s speed is therefore –5 m/s.
2. An object is moving at a constant velocity. This means that an interaction must be delivering momentum to the object at a constant nonzero rate.
3.A bicyclist rounding a curve at a constant speed is receiving a nonzero net flow of momentum.
4. A human being’s weight could be 150 kg.
5. Suppose a moving cart (cart A) hits an identical cart (cart B) at rest. Cart B remains at rest after the collision, and cart A rebounds with a speed equal to its original speed. Cart B must have participated in some other interaction during the collision process,


1. FALSE
2. FALSE
