An electric scooter is traveling along a straight, level path at a constant speed.

a.

Complete the sentences:

  • As the scooter travels, the ____________ energy store of its battery decreases.
  • The speed of the scooter is constant when the work done by the motor is ____________ the work done against resistive forces.
