Describe the motion of the box

• The box will move 75 N to the right, because the forces are unbalanced.

• The box will not move because the forces acting on the box are balanced

• The box will move 75 N to the left, because the forces are unbalanced.

• The box will move 125 N to the right, because the forces are unbalanced.

• Noah drove 8 miles south

• not an example of speed, velocity or acceleration

• A car drives 55 miles per hour

Calculate the speed of this object (S=d/t): The bike traveled 500 meters in 6 seconds

Calculate the speed of this object (S=d/t): The car traveled 152 miles in 3 hours.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

• Speed tells how fast something is moving, Velocity does not.

• Speed is velocity in a certain direction, Velocity is just how fast something is going

• To determine speed you need distance and time. To determine velocity you need distance, time and direction.

• Speed tells how quickly an object is traveling, Velocity tells how slowly an object is traveling

When Eli rolls a baseball in a straight path on the field, why does it eventually stop moving?

• The ball will never stop rolling

• It will not stop until a catcher’s mitt stops it.

• The friction of the grass and dirt will cause the ball to stop rolling.

• Gravity and wind resistance push down on the ball, causing it to stop.
