Convert 300 Km/H to M/S. What bird can fly this fast? A. Bald Eagle, 1776 M/S B. The Common Blue Jay, 20 M/S C. Peregrine Falcon, 83.3 M/S D. None of the Above
What is C, The Peregrine Falcon, 83.3 M/S. FYI, that's 200 MPH, which is faster than the bullet train here in America.

Noah walks home from school everyday. Noah is somewhat lucky because he only lives 400 meters away from the school. Noah walks home at a very speedy 5 M/S on average. How long does it take Noah to get home? Show your work, and/or explain. Dean
What is 80 seconds. V=D/T
200
which one of these terms are a scalar? displacement, speed or force? Noah
What is speed
200
What is velocity measured in? A. Meters/Second B. Meters/Minute C. Centimeters/Hour D. All of the Above Dean
What is D. All of the Above.
200
What is one difference between Velocity and Speed? Tori
Some possible answers for the difference between speed and acceleration is velocity is a vector quantity and speed is scalar, accleration measures constantly getting faster and speed is the distance travelled by an object in a certain amount of time.

is speed a vector? why or why not? explain your reasoning Noah
What is speed is not a vector because it only has magnitud not direction

Nina went on a 50 m run around the puddle, she ran it in 30 seconds. Nina got an award for how fast she ran around the puddle and was the 2nd fastest runner at Newton North High School. She weighs 10 kg. a. What is Nina’s displacement from the run? b. What is Nina’s speed of the run? c. If she was running at 5 m/s how far has she run after 20 seconds Tori
What is a. 0 meters is Nina’s displacement of the run. I know because she ran one full lap around the pond therefore she started and ended in the same place. b. Nina’s speed for the run is V= delta x (change in distance) / delta t (change in time), so V=distance/time. The speed of Ninas run is 1.6 m/s. c. d= v*t, d=5*20, d=100m. I know the distance is 100m because to find distance you do distance equals velocity (speed) multiplied by the time it took to run around the puddle.

If Dean was a part of NASA and got to fly their X-43A(Worlds Fastest Airplane), how long would it take him to fly around the Earth? The Earth has a circumference of 40075160 Meters. The plane flies about 3266 M/S. There are no choices for this one, so do the math. Dean
What is 12270.41 Seconds.

What is Nina runs 2 times around the newton north track. Her ending point was 5m away from her starting point, what is true about Nina’s run? A) Her distance ran is 1 mile B) She ran a distance of 5m C) Her displacement is 5m D) She only moved 5m Tori
A) Her distance ran is 1 mile B) She ran a distance of 5m C) Her displacement is 5m D) She only moved 5m The answer is C, Her displacement is 5 m. I know because displacement is how much someone or something has moved from its starting position. In the question it tells you that she ended 5m away from her starting place so, her displacement is 5m.
