1. What is kinetic energy, and how does it relate to an object's energy due to its speed, or velocity and its mass.

Kinetic energy is the energy an object possesses due to its speed, or velocity and its mass. The faster an object moves, the more energy it collects.

The size and areas of pavement that the driver cannot see while inside the vehicle.

23. The anti-lock brake system engages every time the driver applies the brakes. Is this true or false. Explain why..
