12. During a race, a runner runs at a speed of 6 m/s. 2 seconds later, she is running at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the runner's acceleration? Show your work.
13. Look at the graph below measuring the speed of a truck and answer the following 2 questions:
a) If the graph represents speed, what is measured on the x and y axes? You need to specifically identify which axis is which.
b) Based on what the y axis measures, explain the motion of the truck represented by the graph from point 2 to 6.
14. If you push a 900N refrigerator with the same force as you lift a 40N dumbbell, the dumbbell will move faster. According to Chapter 12, which of Newton's laws is this an example of? Explain how you know.
15. How does the strength of an electromagnet depend on the current and the number of turns in the coil?
