Think about Pete's journey from lesson 2. How would you compare his motion in the first 10 min and the last 10 min of his trip?
1.He is going faster and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes.
2.His acceleration increases during the first 10 minutes and decreases during the last 10 minutes.
3.He is going slower and in a different direction during the first 10 minutes than in the last 10 minutes.
4.He is speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.

Without more information about Pete's journey, it is difficult to determine the correct answer. However, based on the given options, option 4 seems to be the most likely answer. If Pete is starting from rest, he would need to accelerate to reach his maximum speed, and then decelerate to come to a stop at the end of his journey. Therefore, he would be speeding up during the first 10 minutes and slowing down during the last 10 minutes.
