4.20 m

b)

52.5 m

c)

105 m

d)

158 m

3.

In each of the following cases, determine which car has the greatest acceleration.

starts from 0 m/s to 20 m/s in 4 seconds.

b)

speed up from 20m/s to 40m/s in 3 seconds

c)

slow down from 50m/s to stop in 2 seconds

d)

starts from 0 m/s to 20m/s in 5 seconds

4.

Which of the following are considered to be scalar quantities? Pick all that apply.

a)

the temperature of a room

b)

the acceleration of a runner

c)

the speed of a snail

5.
