The difference between a vector and scalar quantity (with an example of each).
What is "direction?" Vectors have direction and scalars do not. Vectors [displacement, velocity, acceleration] & Scalars [position, distance, speed]
100
The definition of acceleration (words)
What is "the rate of change in velocity?"
100
The definition of acceleration (mathematical)
What is "(delta)v/t?"
100
The acceleration of the a potato just as it comes out of Mr. Naumann's potato cannon.
What is "9.81 m/s/s" or "gravity?"
100

What is 21.2
200
How to find velocity from an x vs. t graph
What is the slope?
200
The average speed of a car traveling for a total of 2.5 hours. The car first travels for 30.minutes at 60.mph and then 2.0 hours at 40.mph.
What is "44mph?"
200
How far does a car travel while accelerating from 5 m/s to 21 m/s at a rate of 3 m/s^2?
What is 69m?
200
The angle at which maximum range may be achieved.
What is "45 degrees"
200
Aiden's velocity when swimming across a 10.m wide river. Given that it takes him 30.0s to make the journey, but by the time he reaches the other side he has moved 15m downstream.
What is "0.60m/s?"
300
The horizontal component of a projectile launched at 60 degrees and 20m/s.
What is 10 m/s?
300
You are on a mystery planet and want to find the acceleration. You measure the time it an object to fall 10m, and find it is 3 seconds. What is the acceleration
2.22m/s/s
300
The time required for an object to fall to the ground if the building is 5.00m tall.
What is "1.01s?"
300
The final speed and direction of an object launched with initial velocity "v" at an angle of 30 degrees above the horizontal?
What is "v at θ below the positive horizontal?"
300
The horizontal displacement of a stone dropped from a plane flying over level ground at a velocity of 90.5m/s in the horizontal direction given a drop time of 3.75 s.
What is "339m?"
400
Between which points is the magnitude of velocity greatest?
What is between F and G?
400
Explain the difference between instantaneous velocity and average velocity
Average velocity is the total distance divided by the total time. Instantaneous velocity is the velocity at one moment in time
400
The final velocity of Mia's emu given the following: Mia is riding her trusty emu at a steady pace of 2.5 m/s when suddenly Lydia yells scaring Mia’s emu. For the next 1.75seconds Mia and her emu accelerate at 1.2m/s/s.
What is "4.6m/s?"
400
The magnitude of the velocity of a projectile at its maximum height
vx

A mortar is fired directly upward. It is in the air for a total time of 2.0s and travels a height of 4.91m into the air before it begins to fall. What will be the objects height at 0.5 seconds?
What is "3.7m?"
500
Draw a position-time and velocity-time graphs for the following situation. (ball rolling down a straight incline onto a horizontal surface (no friction) before striking a spring (reversing its direction).
Graph
500
