What would the acceleration be for a turtle that is traveling at a constant velocity of 0.25m/s?
a=0m/s2

What does the slope of the line on a position vs time graph represent?
Slope = Velocity

Find the average acceleration of a car who's velocity goes from 32m/s to 96m/s in a period of 8 seconds.
8m/s2

Draw a probable Position vs Time Graph for the following Velocity vs Time Graph:
300
How far does a plane fly in 15 seconds, while its velocity is changing from 145m/s to 75m/s, assuming uniform acceleration.
1,650m

Graph an example of an object speeding up in the positive direction
400
If a cannon ball is fired at a speed of 600m/s, and the length of the cannon is 0.9m long, what was the acceleration of the cannon ball while it was traveling through the cannon?
200,000m/s2

Describe the movement of the object being depicted in the following graph:
An object is speeding up in a negative direction.
500
An astronaut drops a feather on the moon from a height of 1.2 meters. If the acceleration due to gravity on the moon is 1.62m/s2
1.22s (need to find Vf = 1.97m/s first)
500
Make the approximate position vs time, velocity vs time, and acceleration vs time graphs for the following scenario:
A man is speeding up at a uniform acceleration in a positive direction, the man then stops for a few seconds, then the man finally walks at a constant speed in the opposite direction.
