A train goes 80. km in 1.0 hr, 25km in .50 hr, and 40 km in the last 2.5 hrs of a trip. The average speed of the train is this.

What is 36 km/hr?

100

This is the acceleration of any vector falling freely in the vertical direction.

What is acceleration due to gravity or 9.81 m/s2?

100

This is how you find the velocity using a distance-time graph

What is slope (rise/run)?

100

Find the acceleration of a car that starts from rest and speeds up to 25 m/s over 10 m.

What is 30 m/s2?

200

Two objects of different masses will fall at the same rate toward earth UNLESS acted on by this force. (HINT: Feather vs. Hammer)

What is air resistance or air friction?

200

This angle would produce the greatest horizontal distance in a projectile.

What is 45 degrees?

200

A diver running 1.6m/s dives out horizontally from the edge of a vertical cliff and reaches the water 3.0s later. This is the distance away from the cliff they landed.

What is 4.8 m?

200

This is how you find average speed.

What is distance/time?

200

This is the initial velocity of a football with a vertical component of 4 m/s and a horizontal component of 3 m/s.

What is 5 m/s?

300

The initial velocity is this when at rest.

What is 0?

What angle would produce the greatest time in flight for a projectile?

What is 90 degrees

300

A tiger leaps horizontally from a 12m high rock with a speed of 4.5 m/s. This is the tiger's time in flight.

What is 1.6 s?

300

This formula is used to calculate the time in flight. Provided you have distance, acceleration and initial velocity.

What is d = vit + .5at2 ?

300

This is your total displacement after jogging the length of a soccer field down and back three times.

What is 0?

400

This is determined from taking the change in velocity divided by the change in time.

What is acceleration?

400

A ball is kicked with initial velocity of 45 m/s at a angle of 35 degrees. This is the vertical component for initial velocity.

What is 26 m/s?

400

This is the height of a cliff that a boulder falls off of with a final velocity of 20.0 m/s.

What is 20.4 meters? Or What is 20. meters?

400

This is the equation you use to find the final velocity of an object if given initial velocity, acceleration, and distance.

What is Vf2 = Vi2 + 2ad?

What is 30 m/s?

500

If given the horizontal and vertical components of a velocity vector, this formula can be used to find the resultant velocity vector.
