Question

A toy car is given one quick push down a plastic track where it eventually slows down to a stop. Which action describes one way to keep the car moving at a constant speed? (1 point)

decreasing the mass of the car to make it lighter

lengthening the track to give the car more room to roll

☐ increasing the initial speed at which the car is pushed

pushing the car continuously to cancel out the friction that slows it down

Answer 1

The action that describes one way to keep the car moving at a constant speed is:

☐ pushing the car continuously to cancel out the friction that slows it down.

This action provides a constant force that maintains the car's speed against the forces of friction.
