95 m
What is another word, a physics vocabulary term, for the slope of a position vs. time graph (x vs. t)?
Velocity
A car travels 120 miles in 3.5 hours. Calculate the average speed of the car.
34.29 mph
A Stingray has an average speed of 20 mi/hr. How far does it travel in 0.5 hours?
10 miles
Four friends, Abel (A), Bailey (B), Carlos (C), and Deepit (D) decide to race. Their motion is shown on the position versus time graph to the right. Which two people started ahead (had a positive starting position) of the starting line? ( graph on board )
B and A
Mr. E runs exactly toward a CVS with a total length of 200 m East. Find his displacement and distance value.
200 m East for both!
Define Displacement
the shortest straight line distance from an objects starting point
Suppose you are in a car that is going around a curve. The speedometer reads a constant 30 miles per hour. Is your velocity changing and why?
Yes because the direction changes
Ms. H is constantly accelerating at 2 m/s/s (2 m/s2) from rest to get to her top speed. If that takes 5 seconds, calculate her top speed.
10 m/s
Create a graph that best represents Ms. H heading to her bartending job, working for a couple hours and then heading home after a full shift
On board
A rock is thrown straight upward off the edge of a balcony that is 8 m above the ground. The rock rises 10 m, then falls all the way down to the ground below the balcony. What is the rock's displacement?
-8m
Define distance
Steps taken. Physical measurement apart.
What can you infer from the statement, Velocity of an object is zero?
Object at rest or original starting point
If a velocity increases from 0 to 20 m/s in 10 s, what is the average acceleration? (in m/s2)
2m/s^2
Create a graph that best represents Ms. H returning to class?

An athlete runs exactly once around a circular track with a total length of 400 m. What is the runner's displacement and why?
None, because they ended where they began.
When you look at a speedometer in a moving car, you can see the car's
Instantaneous Speed
