A snake slithered across the sidewalk in between two sign posts. At the first sign post his speed was 1.2 m/s. At the second sign post his speed was 1.2 m/s. This is an example of...

• positive acceleration

• negative acceleration

• no acceleration

The formula for calculating speed is...(x means multiply; / means divide)

• time x distance

• distance x speed

• distance / time

• time / distance

Describe the speed of the object from 4-6 seconds using the distance vs. time graph.

• Increasing speed
• Decreasing speed
• Not moving
• Constant speed

• Disenfranchisement

• Displacement

You calculate acceleration by ..?

• subtracting starting speed from ending speed and dividing by time

• subtracting ending speed from starting speed and dividing by time

• subtracting distance by direction

• Dividing initial speed by final speed
