What is 5 m/s2?
What is Visible Light?
What is an insulator?

What is forces, matter, and motion?
A bus is traveling at a velocity of 25 m/s straight south. What effect will an acceleration of 4 m/s2 north have on the bus.
What is "it will decrease the velocity of the bus"?
Two carts are loose in a parking lot. One cart has lots of food in it, so it has a lot of mass. The other cart is empty. The parking lot is on a slight hill, so both carts are moving down the hill towards a parked car. They may cause a dent in the car when they hit it. What additional information do you need to know to figure out how much force each cart will have when they hit the parked car.
What is "the exact mass of each cart" or "the acceleration of each cart"?
