Question

FCI Questions 22 and 24: FCI questions 21 through 24 use the figure and statement below. The FCIT contained only questions 22 and 24 without the accompanying figure and statement. The questions were reworded appropriately. Use the statement and flig below to answer the next four questions (21 through 24) ure A spaceship drifts sideways in outer space from point P to point Q as shown below. The spaceship is subject to no outside forces. Starting at position Q, the spaceship's engine is turned on and produces a constant thrust (force on the spaceship) at right angles to the line PQ. The constant thrust is maintained until the spaceship reaches a point R in space. FCI Question 22: FCI question 22 was transformed by removing a flgure and removing questions 21 and 23 from a four-question group. FCI 22 As the spaceship moves from point Q to point Rits speed is 1. constant. 2. continuously increasing. 3. continuously decreasing. 1. increasing for a while and constant thereafter. 5. constant for a while and decreasing thereafter. FCITI22 A space ship is drifting sideways in outer space. It is subject to no outside forces. It turns on its engine which generates a constant thrust (constant force on the space ship). While the engine is turned on the spaceship's speed is 1. constant. 2. continuously increasing 3. continuously decreasing. 4. increasing for a while and constant thereafter. 5. constant for a while and decreasing thereafter. FCI Question 24: FCI question 24 was transformed by removing a flgure and removing questions 21 and 23 from a four question group. The statement that the engine was turned off at R was added to the FCIT question from FCI question 23. FCI 24 Beyond position R the speed of the spaceship i 1. constant. 2. continuously increasing 3. continuously decreasing. increasing for a while and constant thereafter. 5. constant for a while and decreasing thereafter.

Explanation / Answer

ok 1) continuously increasing 2) " " 3) constant.
