{\obeylines% WY5V8181 HR } \noindent(a) Speed is absolute velocity (i.e. regardless of direction). Both A and B have increasing absolute distance from the x-axis at every time shown on the graph, so neither has decreasing speed. \noindent(b) At $t=0$, $t=2$, A and B are moving at the same speed because their lines on the graph intersect. \noindent(c) Object A. \noindent(d) $$W = \Delta E.$$ The initial velocities of both objects are zero, so their initial energies are zero, and $$W = E_f = {1\over2}mv^2.$$ Because $m_A = m_B,$ and $$|v_A| > |v_B| \to v_A^2 > v_B^2\hbox{ at $t=4$},$$ object A has more energy and has thus had more net work done to it. \bye
