The point or period when something occurs is known as...
time
A car moves 158m forwards before reversing and traveling for 682m backwards. What is the car's displacement?
Δx = xf - xi
What are the units most commonly used for time?
seconds (s)
Over 1.8 seconds, an apple rolls 22m to the right, then rolls 11.5m to the left. What is its average speed?
18.6 m/s
The total path travelled by an object is known as...
distance
A jet flies 2600 miles in 5 hours. What is its average speed?
s = d / t
What are the units for distance?
meters (m)
What is the average velocity of a basketball that starts at half court, is shot into a net that is 20m away, and then brought back to be 1m in front of half court. It takes 100s.
What is the average velocity of the basketball?
.01 m/s
The total change in an object's position is known as...
displacement
A car starts at rest, and accelerates until it reaches a velocity of 18.6 m/s. If this takes 8 seconds, what was the acceleration of the car?
a = Δv / Δt
What are the units for displacement?
meters (m)
A race car starts at rest and ends up moving -75.8 m/s. This takes 12.5 s. What is the acceleration the car experienced?
-6.064 m/s2
Change in position over time is known as...
velocity
A car with a velocity of 12.8 m/s travels for 500 seconds. How far does it travel?
v * Δt = Δx
or
Δx = Δt * v
What are the units for velocity?
meters per second (m/s)
An astronaut experiences 8.2 m/s2 of acceleration over 81.2s. What is the change in velocity they experience?
665.84 m/s
A change in velocity over time is known as...
acceleration
An object is moving along with a velocity of 3.66 m/s. It accelerates at 0.9 m/s2 until it reaches a velocity of 10.12 m/s. How long did this take?
Which equation would you use to solve this problem?
Δt = Δv / a
What are the units for acceleration?
meters per second per second/meters per second squared (m/s2)
An object is traveling along with a velocity of 5.16 m/s when it accelerates at -1.51 m/s2 for a time period of 6.63 s. What is the final velocity of this object?
-4.85 m/s
