2. (LT #2) Students performed multiple trials of a tennis ball rolling across the floor and recorded their observations in the table. Select the trial with enough information to calculate the velocity of the tennis ball.

• Trial 1
• Trial 2
• Trial 3
• Trial 4

7. (LT #2) The table below represents the data from an experiment to determine the speed of a toy car on a straight track. The car is moving at a constant speed in a forward direction. Which value belongs in the cell marked with an x?

• 300
• 35
• 400
• 450

8. (LT #3) Arnold takes a bus after school to a recreation center. The diagram represents the route that the bus takes. If the trip takes 12 minutes, what is the average velocity of the bus?

• 0.5 miles per minute
• 0.5 miles per minute southeast
• 2 miles per minute
• 2 miles per minute southeast

10. (LT #3) Mrs. Jones walks 4m east, 2m south, 4m west, and 2m north. What is the total distance she walked?

• 0 m
• 8 m
• 12 m
• 12 m/s

Speed is determined calculated using the distance something traveled divided by the time it took to travel that distance. d/t

• False
• True

Velocity is when you calculate an object's speed and add in what direction the object is moving. We call this a velocity vector.

• True
• False

Which statement provides the correct relationships among speed, velocity, distance, and displacement?

• A. Speed is displacement divided by time; velocity is distance divided by time.
• B. Speed is distance divided by time; velocity is displacement divided by time.
• C. Speed is distance divided by time; velocity is displacement multiplied by time.
• D. Speed is displacement divided by time; velocity is distance multiplied by time.
