Its kinetic energy is increasing Its kinetic energy is decreasing. Its potential energy is increasing. Its potential energy is decreasing.
I gave my students this multiple choice question: Which is true of a car that is accelerating along a horizontal roadway?

Only one answer is correct among these 4 choices:
- Its kinetic energy is increasing
- Its kinetic energy is decreasing.
- Its potential energy is increasing.
- Its potential energy is decreasing.

Could you tell me which one is correct?

Its kinetic energy is increasing
