Conception is the correct answer
<span>The distance between two objects is increased by three times the oringinal distance. Since they were already separated by one time the original distance,
the additional three times the oringinal distance now puts them four times the original distance apart.
Whether we're talking about the gravitational forces of attraction or
the electrical forces of attraction, either one is inversely proportional
to the square of the distance between the objects.
So changing the distance to four times the original distance causes
the forces to become 1/4</span>² as strong as they were originally.
The forces become 1/16 of their original magnitude.<span>

I. Positive acceleration increases velocity. Negative acceleration decreases velocity. runner A sped up until the finish line and then slowed to a stop.
ii. Zero a acceleration implies a constant, unchanging velocity not a zero velocity. runner B achieved some velocity prior to 8s and is moving and must slow down to reach a stop.
iii. None. No aspects of this reasoning are correct. Everything she says is wrong. See iv for what/why.
iv. The sign on acceleration denotes the direction of *change in velocity* not change in direction. The sign on velocity can denote change in direction but only “forward” or “reverse” along a particular path. Cardinal direction is not indicated, generally, by the sign on velocity. It may correspond to North/South situationally but it is not an built-in feature of velocity and its sign. For example, if you are traveling with positive velocity and turn left to continue your journey you still have a positive velocity in the new direction. In fact, if you turn left again, traveling in the opposite direction as the one you started with your velocity would still be positive… in the new direction. The velocity relative to original direction could be said to be negative but that would be a confusing way to describe a journey. Maybe if you stopped the vehicle and moved in reverse, you could meaningfully say velocity was negative.
Answer: "The groups had evolved into separate species. "
