This is the time it takes an object to move 100 meters if the object is traveling an average speed of 0.5 m/s.
What is 200 seconds?
100
Draw me a graph of Displacement vs time where the velocity is constant.
What is a straight slanted line starting on the bottom left and ending at the top of the right?

Finish the sentence. Distance is to displacement as speed is to _______________
What is velocity?
300
This is a car's speed after traveling 200 meters from rest with an acceleration of 4.9 m/s^2
What is 44.3 m/s?
300
Draw a graph of displacement versus time with an object that is at rest.
What is a horizontal straight line across the graph?
400
The average mass of a Physics student in kilograms

This is the velocity of a flower pot that fell from a 5 meter high window the instant before it hits the ground.
What is 9.9 m/s down?
400
Explain why acceleration is a vector quanity.
Acceleration is the change in velocity over time. Since velocity is a vector and it is used in the definition, acceleration is also a vector and we care about the direction. Super Bonus... Give me an example when you can have a negative acceleration...

A truck is traveling down a road at 15 m/s, the driver sees a deer jump out in front of him, he slams on his brakes and comes to a complete stop. This takes place in 2 seconds. What is the acceleration of the truck?
What is -7.5 m/s^2? Super bonus..What distance will it take the driver to stop?

On a graph of velocity versus time how would you show a greater acceleration.
What is a steeper slope? Super Bonus...Draw a graph with three changes of motion and label them (it can be position vs time, velocity vs time or acceleration vs time)
