You run from your house to a friend's house that is 3km away. You then walk home. What is the distance travelled and what is your displacement?

Distance = 6km Displacement = 0km

Distance = 3km Displacement = 3km

Distance = 3km Displacement = 6km

Distance = 6km Displacement =6km

Consider these measurements: 10 m, 10 m/s, and 10 m/s/s

10 m: distance 10 m/s: speed 10 m/s/s: acceleration

10 m: speed 10 m/s: distance 10 m/s/s: acceleration

10 m: acceleration 10 m/s: speed 10 m/s/s: distance

When an object reaches teminal velocity:

It hits the ground at the fastest speed

The force of gravity is greater than air resistance

You can calculate the slope of a velocity-time graph. If you calculate the slope of the graph between two points, what would that tell you?

The acceleration of the object.

The distance travelled by the object.

A truck took one hour to travel south 60 km, then took two hours to travel north 100 km, then took another two hours to travel south 120 km. What was the average speed at which the truck was travelling over these five hours?

The average speed cannot be determined from this data.

As a marble rolls down a ramp, it goes faster and faster. Which statement best explains this phenomenon?

The ball's potential energy is changing to kinetic energy

The ball is rapidly losing kinetic energy as it rolls down the ramp

The ball is rapidly gaining potential energy from the ramp

The ball will continue gaining kinetic energy until it stops
