As you travel along the highway at 60 miles per hour, you see a hitchhiker by the side of the road. You gently toss a soft drink bottle out the window of the car, saying "Here, catch!" The hitchhiker

a.

is able to catch the bottle since you did not throw it very fast.

b.

is severely injured because the bottle is going 60 mph

c.

will be able to catch it, but will not be able to hold it because the bottle will be very hot.

d.

will not be able to catch it, because the bottle will immediately explode into pieces because of the increase in pressure inside the bottle when it is thrown in the air.
