This is the time interval of the greatest magnitude of acceleration
What is from 10 to 15 seconds?
This is the UAM quantity that can be measured with a meterstick
What is displacement?
To calculate acceleration when given displacement, initial velocity, and time, this equation must be used.
What is the displacement equation?
x = vit + (1/2)at2
Down and to the left are typically assigned this
What is negative?
In the 2008 Olympics, Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt shocked the world as he ran the 100-meter dash in 9.69 seconds, resulting in this average velocity.
What is 10.3 m/s?
This is when the object is at rest
What is never?
This is the UAM quantity that can be measured with a stopwatch
What is time?
To calculate the elapsed time when given the change in the velocity and acceleration, this equation must be used.
What is the definition of acceleration?
vf = vi + at
This is 1/100 th the size of the base distance unit
What is the centimeter?
Win Blonehare and Kent Swimtashore are sailboating in Lake Gustastorm. Starting from rest near the shore, they accelerate uniformly at 0.29 m/s/s, ending up this distance away from the shore when they are moving at 5.22 m/s/s.
What is 47 m?
This is the average acceleration depicted in this graph
What is -4.0 m/s2?
This UAM quantity has a magnitude of 10 when an object is falling
What is acceleration?
This is the UAM equation without acceleration.
What is the average velocity equation?
x = vavgt
Velocity can be directly measured with this tool
What is a motion detector?
For years, the tallest tower in the United States was the Phoenix Shot Tower in Baltimore, Maryland. Lead shot dropped from the top of the 71.3 meter tower would take this long to hit the bottom.
What is 3.81 s?
This is a correct description of the motion shown in this graph
What is an object moving forward and slowing down?
Setting up an experiment so that an object starts from rest makes the calculation easier because this quantity is zero.
What is initial velocity?
This is the only UAM equation that is time-independent
What is the policeman's equation?
Vf2 = vi2 +2ax
This is the base unit of time
What is the second?
In the Disney movie, Pocahontas, the titular character is seen diving off a cliff into some water below. In the scene, she falls for 9.0 seconds and this distance before reaching the water below.
What is 405 m?
This is the total distance traveled shown in the graph
What is 24 m?
This is the only UAM quantity not mentioned so far in this category.
What is final velocity?
This is the equation for displacement
What is x = xf - xi?
This is the maximum reasonable speed for objects in our universe
What is the speed of light?
A California Condor is approaching its nest with a large chunk of carrion in its beak. As it approaches, it makes an upward swoop, achieving an upward velocity of 12.8 m/s when the carrion falls from its mouth, hitting a cliff outcropping 32.1 m below while traveling at this speed.
What is 28.2 m/s?
