You are tracking the movement of a volleyball during an epic volley between Lockwood and Billings Central. You watch the volleyball move 12 m North, then 12 m South, then 15 m North, and finally 10 m South, ending in a point for Lockwood. The volley took a total of 10 seconds. What was the displacement and overall velocity of the volleyball?

• Displacement: 17 m North | Velocity: 1.7 m/s North
• Displacement: 5 m North | Velocity: .5 m/s North
• Displacement: 49 m South | Velocity: 4.9 m/s North
• Displacement: 5 m South | Velocity: .5 m/s South
• Displacement: 22 m North | Velocity: 10 m/s South

Daniel is moving at 5 m/s South before accelerating 2 m/s North for 4 seconds. What is Daniel's final velocity?

• 2.3 m/s/s West
• 5.4 m/s/s West
• 9 m/s/s West

Bergen drops a pumpkin from the school roof to demonstrate the acceleration due to gravity. The pumpkin drops for 4 seconds before splatting on the ground. What was the pumpkin's final velocity? (use our class rule for acceleration due to gravity)

• 10 m/s down
• 10 m/s up
• 40 m/s down
• 40 m/s up

A roller coaster accelerates from an initial velocity of 6.0 m/s to a final velocity of 70 m/s over 4 seconds.  What's the acceleration?
