19.
Two identical spaceships are traveling in deep space, far from any planets or stars. The
ships travel in the same direction, with the slower one directly behind the faster one. The
graph above shows the speed of the two ships during a 10 s interval. Does at least one of
the ships have its engine turned on during the time interval shown, and what evidence
indicates so?

A. Yes. Because ship 2 is speeding up.
B. Yes. Because the total momentum of the two ships has increased
C. No. Because the total momentum of the two ships has decreased
D. No. Because ship 1 is slowing down while ship 2 is speeding up
