A cart is coasting past Gordon. As it passes, he exerts a force on it. Whether the cart speeds up, slows down, or changes direction depends on the of the force Gordon applied.

Direction

Step-by-step explanation:

Whether the car slows down or speeds up depends on the direction of the force applied, because if Gordon applied the force opposite the direction of the cart's movement, then the cart will slow down. If however, the force is applied in the direction of the carts movement, then the cart will speed up.
