What are the definitions for scalars and vectors?

Scalars: have only one quantity

Vectors: have more than one quantity (magnitude and direction)

100
What are the formulas for speed and velocity?

speed = distance/time

velocity = displacement over time

100
An car at rests accelerates to 40km/hr [S] in 8.0 seconds. What formula would use to find the acceleration of the car?

acceleration = change in velocity/change in time

100

If vi is equal to 0, what two formulas can we use to find displacement during accelerated motion?

d=(vf/2)t

d=(1/2)a(t)2

100

What is the formula for the slope of a graph?

slope = rise/run 

or

slope = (y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

200

Give a real life example where it is important to know displacement during accelerated motion. 

E.g. Merging lanes, traffic lights, etc. (answers may vary)

200
A jogger runs for 30 minutes and has a displacement of 3.21 km [N]. What was their average speed and velocity in m/s?

Speed: 1.9 m/s

Displacement: 1.9 m/s [N]

200
Why are the units for acceleration m/s2?

Acceleration = velocity/time

velocity/time = (m/s)/s = m/(s x s) = m/s2

200

A spacecraft accelerates at a constant rate of 6.9 m/s2 [up] for 46.0s. How far will the spacecraft travel during this time?

7.3 x 103 m [up]

Speed: 77 m/s

Velocity: 0 m/s

400

A car is driving at 55 km/h [E] when they have to stop suddenly for a red light. The car comes to a stop in 6.2 seconds. What was the acceleration of the car?

-2.5 m/s [E]

or

2.5 m/s[W]

400

How long did it take for a tractor to travel across a field that was 2.9 km in length while going 2.8 m/s [E]?

46 seconds

400

Is the motion in both of these graphs the same or different? What kind of motion is it?

(See drawing #3 on the board)

Yes. It is uniform velocity. 

500

Is mass a scalar or vector quantity?

Scalar
