16. please HELP me answer this!! Chantal travels by bike at a constant speed on a flat path. It slows down by climbing a hill. At the top of the coast, the path is again flat and it accelerates to resume its initial cruising speed. Then, going down the coast, she accelerates. Finally, being again in front of a hill to climb, it takes advantage of its speed and lets itself slide without pedaling to the complete stop (zero speed). Sketch the graph of Chantal's speed according to time.

. In the movie The Rocketeer, a teenager discovers a jet-powered backpack in an old barn. The backpack allows him to fly at incrediblespeeds. In one scene, however, he uses the backpack to rapidly accelerate an old pickup truck that is being chased by “bad guys.” Hedoes this by bracing his arms against the cab of the pickup and firing the backpack, giving the truck the acceleration of a drag racer. Isthe physics of this scene “Good,” “Bad,” or “Ugly”? Explain.
