True or False: Ariana Grande began dating Wicked co-star Ethan Slater after meeting him on set.

True!

100
The slope (incline) on a position vs. time graph is very steep. Is the velocity of the object slow or fast?

Fast!

100

What is the symbol of displacement?

Δ x

100

A mouse on a motorcycle travels 1500 meters in 50 seconds. What is her speed?

Use s = d/t

s = 30 m/s

100

Define a scalar.

A quantity with only magnitude.

200

What nickname did the Fortnite community give to the large, mysterious purple cube that appeared during Season 5 and caused a ripple of events leading into the “Butterfly Event” in Season 6?


Kevin the Cube

200

The slope of a position vs. time graph is very mellow, and not steep at all. Is the velocity of the object slow or fast?

Slow!

200

What is velocity?

Speed with direction or displacement over time

200

A runner named Samuel runs 400 meters at a speed of 8 m/s. How long did it take him?

Use t=d/s

50 seconds.

200

How do we represent the magnitude (amount) of a vector?

Arrow length (longer = more magnitude, shorter = less magnitude)

300

Which country won the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup, making it their first-ever victory in the tournament?

España!

300

The slope of a position vs. time graph is completely flat and horizontal. This means that the object is...?

Not moving! Still! Stopped! Etc. :)

300

What are two kinematic variables that are always positive?

Distance and speed

300

A 2023 Dodge Challenger travels at a speed of 90 m/s for 100 seconds. How far did it travel?

Use d = (s)(t)

d = 9000 m.

300
Is speed a scalar or vector quantity?

A scalar quantity!

400

In a surprising display of defensive versatility during the 2023 season, which star Dodgers outfielder took the field at shortstop for the first time in his Major League career, impressing fans and sparking conversation about his all-around athleticism?

Mookie Betts!

400

Draw a position vs time graph (with correct axis labels) of a squirrel that goes forward, stays still, then moves backwards to the starting point?

/---\

400

What are two ways to achieve an acceleration

Speeding up or slowing down

400

A bicyclist speeds up uniformly from 2.0 m/s to 10.0 m/s in 4.0 s. What is their acceleration (m/s^2)?

a = (vf − vi)/Δt = (10.0 − 2.0) m/s / 4.0 s = 

2.0 m/s^2

400

Is velocity a scalar or a vector?

Velocity is a vector! (Memory trick: speed = scalar, velocity = vector)

500

What are the names of both of Mr. Eaton's dogs?

Tillie & James John

500
What do you calculate when you find the slope of a position vs. time graph?

The velocity of the object!

500

How do you calculate displacement?

Position final - position initial

500

Eldian rides a scooter starting from rest and reaches 4.0 m/s in 2.0 s. What is his acceleration (in m/s^2)?

a = (vf − vi)/Δt = (4.0 − 0) m/s / 2.0 s = 

2.0 m/s^2

500
Is acceleration a scalar or a vector?

Acceleration is a vector.
