Textbook Question
Chapter 4, Problem 23EAP
Decide whether the statement makes sense (or is clearly true) or does not make sense (or is clearly false). Explain clearly: not all of these have definitive answers, so your explanation is more important than your chosen answer.
23. When I drive my car at 30 miles per hour, it has more kinetic energy than it does at 10 miles per hour.
