Two birds are flying directly towards each other at the same speed If the first bird is flying at a velocity v, what is the the velocity of the second bird?
V
-V
2V
Impossible to Determine
The velocity function is all fo the following EXCEPT
a function of time
The derivative of the position function
A function which gives the velocity of an object at any point in time
none of the above
What kind of function is an acceleration function describing one-dimensional motion?
a scalar-valued function
a vector-valued function
There is no such thing as acceleration in one dimension
a constant function
In general, the acceleration of objects due to the earth's gravitational pull is
constant
g8 m/s2
smaller if the object is further away
greater if the object is further away
Kinematics is concerned with
understanding why objects move the way they do
describing the movement of objects
action at a distance
none of the above
A raindrop on a drizzly day takes one minute from the time it leaves the cloud until it hits your umbrella, 3 miles below The average velocity of the raindrop on its journey is
3 miles/hr
60 miles/hr
180 miles/hr
impossible to determine because the raindrop accelerates due to gravity
The average velocity and the instantaneous velocity of an object will be the same if
the object's speed is constant
the object's acceleration is zero
the object's velocity is always positive
They are never the same

What is the acceleration of this object at time t = 25?
-g
25(0,0,-1/2g)
25/2 g

This equation might describe an object
in free fall
moving as a projectile
bouncing straight up and down
with changing acceleration
