name all vector quantities
acceleration, velocity, displacement
An airplane accelerates down a runway at 3.20 m/s2 for 32.8 s until is finally lifts off the ground. Determine the distance traveled before takeoff.
d = 1720 m
Is this object speeding up, slowing down, or constant v?
constant velocity
Velocity is negative and acceleration is positive, what is the condition of the object?
escape velocity from the earths surface is about 7.0 miles/sec. what is that in m/s?
11265.41 m/s
What is kinematics
branch of mechanics that deals with how far, how fast, and how consistent a body moves.
looks at distances, speeds, & accelerations
When will the magnitude of one's average velocity be the same as one's average speed
When two objects moving in a straight line
Describe and compare the dot diagrams.
The first one is moving at a constant velocity. The second one is moving at a constant velocity but slower and the third dot diagram is accelerating.
With an average acceleration of -1.2 m/s^2, how long will it take a cyclist to bring a bicycle with an initial speed of 6.5 m/s to a complete stop?
5.42s
in book IV of The Lord of the Rings, Frodo and Sam rappel down a cliff, using a rope 30 ells long. how high was the cliff, IN METERS, if the rope reached the bottom? (1 ell=45 in)
34.3 m
how do you find the total displacement
(change in x^2 + change in y^2 = R^2)
A feather is dropped on the moon from a height of 1.40 meters. The acceleration of gravity on the moon is 1.67 m/s2. Determine the time for the feather to fall to the surface of the moon.
t = 1.29 s
Describe what is happening in this dot diagram by interval
moving with a constant speed in the first time interval. then abruptly decelerates to a stop. remains at rest for sometime and then moves with a constant speed, slower than the first speed.

what motion is happening above?
accelerating
