The speed you read on a speedometer at any given time is called?
Instantaneous Speed
3 m/s North is an Example of what ?
A velocity
A car drives 45 km/hr around a race track. The car has a constant?
Speed
What is the formula for finding speed ?
Speed = Distance / Time
When a car takes takes off when the light turns green it has a ___________ acceleration.
Positive
Motion is the change in an objects what?
Position
Which car has the greatest acceleration?
Car A
What is the most likely instantaneous speed at 5 seconds?
6 m/s
A runner goes around a 1 mile track and ends up where he started what his is displacement?
Zero
What variable is on the Y-axis?
Velocity
Quantities that contain both magnitude and direction such as velocity are called:
Vectors
A car travels a distance of 98 meters in 10 seconds. What is the cars speed?
9.8 m/s
A car slowing down to a red traffic light has a negative acceleration. We call this:
Deceleration
How long will it take an object traveling 25 m/s to reach a distance of 125 meters?
5 Seconds
In movies there are scenes where a horse and rider come to a fence; when the horse stops the rider flies over the horse's head. Explain why this happens.
Since you are riding the horse both the momentum of the horse and yourself are the same. When the horse comes to a stop and you are not secured then you will fly off at the speed/velocity the horse was moving when it stopped. This all happens because of the momentum of the horse.
Acceleration is the change of __________ over time.
speed or Velocity
Two people travel from Bismarck to Fargo, one by car at a velocity of 95 km/hr, and one by plane at a velocity of 275 km/hr. Although their transportation travelled at different speeds, their displacements were equal? How can this be?
They both travelled the same distance in the same direction.
Describe the motion of section A in this distance vs time graph.
Constant
What is the formula for acceleration ?
Velocity/speed (final) - Velocity/speed (initial) / time
or change in speed/time
What does the SLOPE of a speed vs time graph tell you?
Acceleration
What is calculated when you take the total distance an object travels and divide it by the total time it took to get there?
Average Speed
What does the SLOPE of a distance vs time graph tell you?
The speed of the object
What are all the ways an object can accelerate?
Speed up, Slow down or change direction
A horizontal (flat) line on a velocity vs time graph shows ________ acceleration.
Zero
Describe the motion of section A in this velocity vs time graph.
Slowing Down or deceleration
