A large truck and a small car have a head-on collision. Which has the greater acceleration: the truck or the car? A) The truck has the greater acceleration because it has the greater mass.
B) The car has the greater acceleration because it has the smaller mass.
C) Both the truck and car have the same magnitude of acceleration.

These models show the electron structures of two different nonmetal elements. which element is likely more reactive, and why? element 1 is more reactive because it has fewer electron shells and is toward the top of its group on the periodic table. element 1 is more reactive because it has more electrons in its valence shell and is farther to the right on the periodic table. element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a valence shell close to the nucleus, so it will attract electrons. element 2 is more reactive because it does not have a full valence shell, so it will attract electrons.

1. jay fills a wagon with sand (about 20 kg) and pulls it with a rope 30 m along the beach. he holds the rope 25° above the horizontal. the rope exerts a 20-n tension force on the wagon. how much work does the rope do on the wagon?
