100
The amount of space covered, along a path (usually measured in meters)
What is distance?
100
A particle travels 60 m in 15 s; this quantity (with units) describes its velocity
What is 4 m/s?
100
The measuring device with which we can determine displacement.
What is a meterstick or ruler?
100
What you would look for on a displacement versus time graph in order to get the velocity
What is the slope?
100
What would describe how fast a particle is moving in the negative x direction
What is a negative velocity?
200

Share the wealth

loose 100 points and split it amongst all teams however you wish (every team must get at least 1 point)

200
An object travels 10 m in 4 s. It travels 1 m in the first two seconds, and then 9 m in the next 9 s. This quantity (with units) describes its average velocity.
What is 2.5 m/s?
200
The measuring devices with which we can determine velocity
What is a meterstick or ruler and a stopwatch?
200

Name 3 vital labeling parts of a graph

axis titles, units, clear and consistent increments
200
You could conclude from a graph of displacement versus time that is a horizontal line
What is an object that is not moving?
300
The final position minus the initial position (regardless of the path taken to get there)
What is displacement?
300
An object travels at a constant velocity of 5 m/s for one minute. This quantity (with units) describes its acceleration.
What is 0 m/s^2?
300

SWAP

swap points with any team (YOU MUST SWAP)

300

Draw a position vs time graph of an object moving at a constant speed for 5 seconds and then sitting still for 3 seconds

linear line for a 5 second difference, and a flat line for a 3 second difference, specific position does not matter.

300

Free 300

Here is a free 300 points, every other team is probably upset about this

400
The change in displacement over time
What is velocity?
400

Whirlwind

all points are shifted one slot to the left
400
You could measure both velocity and change in velocity with this part of your car and a timer
What is an accelerator pedal?
400
The quantity you would measure on a velocity versus time graph in order to determine the acceleration
What is the slope?
400

What is Mr. Sanders Fiance's name? Bonus 300 for middle or last name

Natalie Cassandra Denton

500
The change in velocity at a specific point in time; often measured by a tangent line to a velocity curve
What is instantaneous acceleration?
500
An object that travels at 45 m/s for 5 seconds has traveled this far (with units).
What is 225 meters?
500
A police officer uses this piece of equipment to determine your velocity on a road by shooting a wave at you and measuring the time it takes to return to him/her.
What is a radar gun?
500

What you would conclude if you took the slope of a velocity versus time graph and found it to be linear

What is a constant acceleration?

500
The only motion quantity that you could determine if you were to close your eyes while you were riding in a moving vehicle, such as a car or airplane
What is acceleration?
