What is a vector?

2

On a coordinate system, this point is where all variables equal zero.

What is the origin?

A rocket is set up to launch from 10m above the ground. It launches with an average velocity upwards of 200m/s. This is where it will be after 5 seconds of launch time. 

What is 1010m upwards?

This is the tallest building/free-standing structure on Earth.

What is the Burj Khalifa?

3

This is defined as speed with direction.

What is velocity?

3

This is the type of relationship two variables have if they both change the same amount between any two equal intervals.

What is a linear relationship?

3

A racecar has a velocity of 30m/s West.  Over 8 seconds, it speeds up by 9m/s2. It's final velocity is this. 

What is 102 m/s West?

3
