100
represented by the slope of a displacement vs. time graph
What is velocity?
100
the value of free fall acceleration
What is -9.81 m/s^2?
100
density
What is scalar?
100
the velocity of an object at a specific point in time
What is instantaneous velocity?
100
how much ground an object has covered overall
What is distance?
200
represented by the slope of a velocity vs. time graph
What is acceleration?
200
Double Jeopardy...Make your wager! the acceleration represented by a position time graph with a slope of +5
What is zero? (The slope on a p-t graph represents velocity. If velocity is constant, there isn't acceleration!)
200
force
What is vector?
200
displacement divided by time
What is average velocity?
200
a "direction conscious" value
What is vector?
300
the description of velocity represented by a straight line parallel with the x-axis in a position vs. time graph
What is zero?
300
the sign representing acceleration of a car that is increasing its velocity in the negative direction
What is negative?
300
speed
What is scalar?
300
the velocity of Josh snowboarding when he travels 50 meters to the right and then 20 meters to the left in 30 minutes
What is 1 meter/minute? (The skier is displaced 30 meters to the right, so 30/30=1.)
300
I drive 120 miles in my car round trip from my house to school and back. It takes me two hours to drive this distance. What is my velocity?
What is zero? (No displacement means no velocity since velocity is displacement/time.)
400
represented by the area under a velocity vs. time graph
What is displacement?
400
the sign of acceleration of a car decreasing its velocity in the negative direction
What is positive?
400
weight
What is vector?
400
A lightning bug flies at a velocity of .75 m/s due east toward another lightning bug seen off in the distance. A light breeze from the east blows the bug at a velocity of 0.75 m/s. This is the resultant velocity of the lightning bug...
What is 0 m/s?
400
the direction only of the resultant vector of traveling 40 miles north and then 20 miles west -- 27 degrees west of north or 63 degrees west of north
What is a 27 degrees west of north? (It is closer to the north value since it is larger in magnitude/size! It is also 63 degrees north of west. Notice the difference. It is slight.)
500
represented by the area under an acceleration-time graph
What is the change in velocity?
500
the average acceleration of Zack when he jumps onto a slippery tile floor with a velocity of 10 m/s and skids to a full stop 2 seconds later
What is -5 m/s^2? (average velocity is final minus initial over time, so it is 0 - 10 divided by 2)
500
acceleration
What is vector?
500
the average velocity in m/s of batman when he free falls 1 km in 10 seconds
What is 100 m/s?
500
Double Jeopardy -- Make your wager! An ant’s directional displacement (this means both magnitude and direction) relative to his original position when he travels 15 cm eastward and then 25 cm northward
What is 29 cm at 59° north of east?
