100
This is the motion this graph shows.
What is constant velocity (no accel)?
100
This illustrates a car moving faster. Each drip happens every one second. (Top or bottom)
What is the bottom car?
100
A bobsled team accelerates their sled to go 150 m/s in 3 seconds from rest. This is the acceleration of the sled.
What is 50 m/s/s?
100
Michael Jordan’s vertical leap is reported to be 48 inches (1.22m). What is his take off speed?
What is 4.89 m/s?
100
This is the velocity at the release point when something is dropped.
What 0 m/s?
200
This is the motion the graph shows.
What is speeding up?
200
A car leaves this oil drip pattern. This describes the motion of the car. The drips are one second apart.
What is slowing down/stopping?
200
A ball is rolling at 5 m/s. The ball rolls accelerates at 4 m/s/s until a final velocity of 47 m/s is reached. This is how long this took.
What is 10.5 s?
200
An arrow is launched straight up from the ground with an initial velocity of 23.4 m/s. How long until it reaches its highest point?
What is 2.39s?
200
This is the magnitude and direction of the acceleration of objects in free fall.
What is -9.8 m/s/s?
300
This is the motion this graph shows.
What is speeding up?
300
According to this picture, this is the acceleration at t = 8 s.
What is -9.8 m/s2?
300
A runner accelerates from rest at 4.2 m/s/s for 10 seconds before winning the race. This is how far they ran.
What is 210 m?
300
Standing at the edge of a cliff 32.5m high, you drop a ball. Find the ball's velocity right before it hits the ground.
What is -25.24 m/s.
300
This is the velocity of an object at the highest point when thrown upward.
What is 0 m/s?
400
This is the time interval where the object has no acceleration.
What is t=2-5s? (or the horizontal part)
400
This is the magnitude and direction of the velocity of the ball at 2.5 seconds.
What is -5 m/s?
400
A rock leaves a slingshot with a velocity of 452 m/s. While accelerating, the rock travels a distance of 0.93 m. This is the acceleration of the rock rounded to a whole number.
What is 109841 m/s2?
400
Standing at the edge of a cliff 32.5m high, you throw a ball downward with an initial speed of 11 m/s. Find the ball's velocity as it hits the ground.
What is -27.53 m/s?
400
This is how hang time compares to either the amount of time rising or the amount of time falling.
What is double the amount of time rising or falling?
500
This is the motion this graph shows
What is slowing down, then stopping, the speeding up in the opposite direction.
500
This where the acceleration of the ball is zero in this picture.
Where is it is never zero on this picture?
500
A car speeds up from rest to a speed of 9.2 m/s over a distance of 26.2 m. This is the acceleration of the car.
What is 1.6 m/s/s?
500
Billy jumps upward with a velocity of 4.2 m/s off a 6m high diving board. What is his final velocity once he hits the water?
What is -11.63 m/s?
500
This is the displacement of an object thrown upward with a velocity of 2.425 m/s and caught at the same height.
What is 0 m?
