Mr. Hilton
100
The total amount of ground an object has covered in its motion
What is distance?
100
This describes the velocity of an object that travels 10 m N in 5 s.
What is 2 m/s N?
100
This is the unit for velocity
What is m/s?
100
This unit is derived by dividing the difference in velocity by time
What is meters per second squared? (m/s/s)
100
What Mr. Hilton studied in college
What is Biology?
200
The shortest route for an object
What is displacement?
200
The speed of a man who hang glides down a 3,048 m mountain in 1,200 s
What is 2.54 m/s?
200
An objects velocity can be found by dividing these two variables
What are displacement and time?
200
The force that causes objects to accelerate downward
What is gravity?
200
Where Mr. Hilton graduated from college
What is UTB?
300
This is what displacement has, but distance does not
What is direction?
300
The velocity of a turtle which crawls +120 cm in 4 min. (Convert to m/s).
What is +.005m/s?
300
The formula for this vector quantity is change in position divided by time; or, displacement divided by time.
What is velocity?
300
Joe runs from rest to 60 m/s in 10 s. This number describes his acceleration.
What is 6 m/s/s?
300
Where he and his wife spent their honeymoon
What is the Bahamas?
400
Meters, denoted by a lowercase "m"
What is the unit for distance and displacement?
400
The acceleration of a car that speeds up from 50 m/s to 60 m/s over a period of 5 s
What is 2 m/s/s?
400
Velocity is a vector quantity, meaning it has this, something which speed does not have.
What is direction?
400
A helicopter travelling 25 m/s slows to 15 m/s in 5 s. This number and direction describe his acceleration
What is -2 m/s/s?
400
Mr. Hilton's favorite class in high school, but least favorite in college
What is Physics?
500
An object walks +5m, -3m, +11m, -6m, -10m, +7m, and -1m before coming to a rest. This number and direction describe the objects displacement.
What is +3m?
500
The amount of time an object would have to be in motion in order to speed up from 10 m/s to 50 m/s at an acceleration of 5 m/s/s
What is 8 s?
500
Finding the slope of this graph will tell you an objects velocity
What is a position vs. time graph?
500
Finding the slope of this graph will tell you an objects acceleration
What is a velocity vs. time graph?
500
Bible character that Mr. Hilton's middle name bears
What is David?
