TRUE or FALSE: Distance is the total path from start to end between two points
TRUE
Displacements in the same direction are (Mathematically?)
Added
What formula do we use to solve for Speed?
Distance/Time
What does the slope of a Distance vs. Time (or Position vs. Time) graph represent?
Velocity
TRUE or FALSE: These are examples of velocity... 5 m/s, 60 km/hr
FALSE -- velocity has speed AND direction
examples: 5 m/s away, 60 km/hr south
When solving for distance, does direction matter?
No, direction does not matter
Displacements in opposite directions are? (Mathematically)
Subtracted
If you move 50 m in 10 s, what is your speed?
5 m/s
If the slope of a line is zero, how is the object moving?
STOPPED/not moving
What is the definition of velocity?
Velocity is the change in distance over time (speed + direction)
Mia walks 2 miles N and 3 miles S, what distance did she travel?
5 miles
Ryan runs 3 laps around a 400 m track. What is the displacement?
0, no direction
What is the speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds?
15 m/s
If the slope of the line is positive, how is the object moving?
It is moving away from start
Acceleration is the change in velocity (speed, direction, or both)
Chris runs 3 laps around the 400m track. What is his distance?
1200 m
Can displacement and distance ever be the same amount?
Yes, if the measurements are in the same direction
A rocket traveled 90 meters in 45 seconds. What is its speed?
2 m/s
If the slope of the line is negative, how is the object moving?
It is moving toward the start
A car is stopped at rest. Is this an example of acceleration?
NO
You run away at 3 m/s for 15 s. What distance do you travel?
What is my displacement if I walk 15 m north and then walk 7 m south
8 m North
The cheetah has a speed of 75 mi/hr and the horse has a speed of 44 mi/hr. Which is faster and why? Use the word 'distance' and 'time' in your answer
Cheetah because it covers more distance in the same amount of time
Make a motion graph story for the 3 parts of the graph below:
1) moving away quickly
2) moving away at slower rate
3) moving toward
A car slows down before it enters an exit turn off of the highway. Is this an example of acceleration?
YES (change in speed and direction)
