You would need to drive 3355km to travel from Vancouver to Toronto, is an example of this.
What is distance?
100
It is the rate at which an object changes direction.
What is velocity?
100
A decrease in speed with direction is referred to as this.
What is deceleration?
100
The x-axis should always have this value.
What is time?
100
It has a total of 3600 seconds.
What is an hour?
200
The slope of a distance vs. time graph.
What is speed?
200
Velocity is this type of quantity.
What is a vector quantity?
200
A flat parallel line on a velocity-time graph indicates that the velocity of an object is constant, therefore the acceleration is this.
What is zero.
200
A negative slope represents this in a distance vs time graph.
What is speed in the opposite direction?
200
It is the value of 1.45 km in metres.
What is 1450 m?
300
A group of cyclists completed a total distance of 24km. They completed the race in 1.2 hours. This would be their average speed?
What is 20 km/h?
300
It has this value if the total displacement is zero.
What is zero?
300
When calculating acceleration from a curved velocity vs. time graph, you need to use this.
What is a tangent line?
300
When you have two lines of different slopes on a distance vs. time graph, this one has the highest speed.
What is the steepest slope?
300
This machine is used to collect experimental distance and time data.
What is a ticker tape machine?
400
The total distance travelled by the total time required to travel that distance is called this.
What is average speed?
400
Canada geese migrate from Ontario to the southern states in the winter, a resultant displacement of 2450 km [SW] in a time of about 60 days. This is the average velocity of these geese in kilometres per day.
What is 40.8 km [SW] /day?
400
A famous Canadian cross-country skier accelerates on his skis from 6 m/s [forward] to 15 m/s [forward] in 1.5 s. This is his acceleration during this time.
What is 6 m [forward] / s2
400
The speed off a flat line, distance vs. time graph, is this.
What is zero?

Donovan the cyclist travels at 25.6 km/h during a race. It would take him this amount of time to complete a 37.5 km race.
What is 1.46 hours?
500
A racecar travels 106 km [N], spins out and travels 159 km [S]. If the car is travelling at 195 km/h [S] and the car's total displacement is 53 km [S], this would be the length of time it travelled.
What is 0.27 hours?
500
A sprinter accelerates at 0.9 m/s2to reach a velocity of 10 m/s [forward]. This is the time it takes.
What is 11.11 seconds?
