2.
What is distance?
a)
straight line distance between start and end point
b)
total distance traveled
3.
What does the value 9.8 m/s2 represent?
a)
the great pull force of earth
b)
Gravity
c)
acceleration due to gravity
d)
fast
4.
If the velocity of an object is zero at a given point, the acceleration must also be zero at that point.
a)
True
b)
False
5.
A ball is tossed straight up into the air and falls straight back down. Neglecting air resistance, at what point is the acceleration the greatest?
a)
Just after it was thrown
b)
At the peak height
c)
Just before it lands
d)
The same everywhere
6.
A car is travelling East (+ x direction) and is slowing down to a stop. What direction does acceleration point?
a)
East
b)
West
c)
Up
d)
Backwards
7.
What is the difference between a scalar and a vector?
a)
A scalar is just the value while a vector has direction.
b)
Scalar has direction and vectors are just numbers
c)
They are both the same
d)
yes
8.
What is NOT an example of a freely falling object? (ignore air resistance)
a)
the cup my cat Boomer just knocked off the counter
b)
the International Space Station
c)

9.
If a ball is thrown straight up in the air and is caught 4.2 seconds later. Assuming we want to use the following equation:
vy = v0,y + gt
Choose the equation correct substitutions.
vy = v0,y + gt
Choose the equation correct substitutions.
a)
0 m/s = v0,y + (9.8 m/s2)(4.2 s)
b)
0 m/s = 0 m/s + (9.8 m/s2)(4.2 s)
c)
0 m/s = v0,y + (9.8 m/s2)(2.1 s)
d)
0 = v0,y + (9.8)(2.1)
10.
What does the slope of a position versus time graph give you?
a)
position changes
b)
velocity
c)
acceleration
d)
speed
11.
Acceleration can be found using the slope of a velocity versus time graph.
a)
True
b)
False
Reset
