1. Imagine a horse pulling a cart. What would happen to the speed of the cart if several bags of cement were added to the cart? (1 point)

If several bags of cement were added to the cart, the speed of the cart would decrease. The additional weight from the cement increases the load that the horse has to pull, making it harder to maintain speed.

If several more horses were hitched up to the same cart, this would likely increase the speed of the cart. With more horses pulling, there is greater combined power, which can help overcome the load and resistance, allowing the cart to move faster.
