Which of these has an acceleration of 0 and nonzero velocity
B
100
If an object speeds up from 3mph to 36mph over a period of 3 seconds, what is the objects average acceleration?
11 m/s2
100
Why does displacement increase even when velocity is constant?
Velocity = change in displacement/time
So if displacement is changing, there must be velocity

What is Lil Wayne's debut album called which has had multiple sequels?
Da Carter

Where did Antonio Brown go to college?
Central Michigan University

Which of these has a constant rate of acceleration?
A

If Conwell's Grandma pulls in front of you without a blinker, hits the brake for no reason and forces you to go from 75mph to 45mph (20 below the speed limit, of course) in a period of 2 seconds. What was the average acceleration during her masterful display of lane changing skills?
(Be careful with your unit of measurement at the end)
-15 miles per hour per second
(or a deceleration of 15...)
200
What is the type of acceleration of a nonzero, increasing, parabolic velocity graph?
Provide an example
It is a linear increase in acceleration.
As you accelerate anything, the acceleration increases at a constant rate. So the rate of acceleration is increasing in a uniform (constant) manner.

Ed Sheeran

Name 10 players who have average 30ppg in an NBA season since 2000
LeBron Kobe Steph AI
KD Giannis Luka SGA Tatum

Westbrook Harden Beal
300
Which of these graphs represents Dr. Conwell's Grandmother's walk around the neighborhood after dinner?
LEFT
Constant Velocity
300
What is the final velocity of a car who starts at rest then travels for 4 seconds as its rate of acceleration starts at 2 m/s2 and that rate of acceleration increases by 5 m/s2 every second?
Initial Vel = 0
Rate is 2 then 7 then 12 then 17
Final Velocity = 38 m/s2
300
Is the relationship between displacement and acceleration direct or is there another unit of measurement involved between them?
It is not direct, velocity is directly related to both but sits in between displacement and acceleration.

How many Oscars are given out each year at the award show?
24
300
How many super bowl wins do LSU, Ohio State, Penn State, Oklahoma, Texas and Florida QBs have all-time in the NFL?
Zero
400
A
The acceleration is nonzero, but it is not changing so the slope of the acceleration graph must be zero.
400
How far would a car have traveled if it starts at rest and accelelrates at a 7 m/s2 rate for 10 seconds?
It isn't asking for velocity it is asking for displacement so you must add 7 each second and add each value together.
7 + 14 + 21 + 28 + 35 + 42 + 49 + 56 + 63 + 70 =
385 meters
400
If a plane starts to descend towards a landing strip without changing it's speed, is the plane changing acceleration. Explain why?
Yes, because a change in direction changes the acceleration relative to the starting point and initial direction. Even though the speed did not change, the plane is technically going slower relative to original point of traveling.
400
What two elements are the most abundant in the universe and in the human body?
Universe = Carbon
Body = Oxygen
400
What school has the all-time most QB wins in super bowls from their alumni?
Michigan
(Tom Brady has won all 7 for Michigan Alumni)

There is a corresponding graph that is represented in 3 different ways on the graphs below. Which displacement graph matches with which velocity graph, which also matches with which acceleration graph?
The parabolic displacement graph =
The linear increasing velocity graph =
The nonzero (zero slope) acceleration graph
500
Using the acceleration due to gravity, how far would an object fall if it were traveling 30 m/s2 downward at the start of it's fall and you timed it for 3 seconds?
30 meters per second per second is the initial velocity, this must increase by 9.8 every second.
39.8 + 49.6 + 59.4 = 148.8
The object will have fallen 148.8 meters
500
Explain what it means when an acceleration vs time graph has a parabolic curve like this 
Both the acceleration and rate of acceleration are increasing, however the rate at which the acceleration is increasing is slowing over time.
