Distance vs Displacement
When are distance and displacement equal?
When the object travels in the same direction for the elapsed time
Why is speed considered a scalar quantity?
It has no direction
What is SI units used to measure mass?
Kilograms
In the MCU timeline, which full movie happens first?
Captain Marvel
(Captain America does not have the full movie only the beginning)
Who dunked over his team's mascot on a hoverboard in the NBA dunk contest?
Aaron Gordon
When is displacement going to larger than distance?
There is no point where that is possible, at most displacement can be equal to, never greater, than distance.
Why are both velocity and acceleration considered to be vectors?
They have magnitude and direction
What is the formula for the volume of a sphere?
4/3 pi r cubed
What was Drake's first mixtape that went platinum?

Name 3 teams in sports named after music or entertainment

What is the displacement, in megameters, when you walk around your block twice?
(Zero) 0 Megameters
If a car was driving on the highway at a constant speed of 65mph and did not have to stop at any point during his time on the highway, how can you explain that the average speed for his journey is 40mph?
The driver may have stopped, he may have traveled in residential places with lower speed limits, caught lights, etc.
How does mass differ from weight, which one is a scalar, which one is a vector and why?
Mass is matter in an object, gravity is the matter combined with gravitational pull. Weight has direction and therefore is a vector.
What show does SHIELD Agent Maria Hill (Nick Fury's second in command) also have a major role in?

Name 5 teams whose name does not end in S in sports

What is the only way you can measure the displacement of a homerun or hit in baseball without needing mathematical formulas?
If the ball is hit directly in front of or behind the pitcher
If a care package is dropped from a height of 3,000 meters into the ocean and then sinks 440 meters, what is the difference between the displacement from release and it's position relative to sea level?
The displacement from the initial position is -3,440 or 3,440 meters downward.
The displacement relative to sea level is only -440 or 440 meters below sea level.
What formula would you use to calculate the displacement of a homerun that went to right field?
Pythagorean Theorem or Distance Formula
What famous alternative band did a combination album with a platinum rapper?
Linkin Park
Name the NFL player who started his college career at Texas Tech based on career path
CLE - CAR - LAR - TB
Baker Mayfield
What is the difference between distance and displacement of a horse that starts his race and runs around a track that is 1850 meters and then trots back to his stable 30 yards away?
30 yards = 27.4 meters
The distance is 1877.4 meters, the displacement is simply 27.4 meters from the starting point of the race.
Kids play wiffelball and the mound is 6 meters from the plate and a ball is hit to left field. If the ball is directly to the pitchers right by 8 meters after the hit, how far is the ball's displacement from home plate?
Can the position-time graph for an object be a horizontal line? Could it be a vertical line?
Explain your reasoning for both
Yes for horizontal, because it means the object is not moving while the elapsed time is still passing.
No for vertical, you cannot have distance/position increase as time does not pass, it is not possible.
