Speed
Acceleration
Time
Negative acceleration:
means getting faster and faster.
means getting slower and slower.
means changing motion toward the negative direction.
means changing motion in the downward direction.
doesn't exist. You can not "negatively accelerate".
On a position vs. time graph, concave down always means:
Slowing down.
Speeding up.
Positive acceleration.
Negative acceleration.
Constant velocity
An object is launched in the sky with a significant velocity of 100 m/sec upward. If the acceleration of gravity is down, what will happen?
The object will continue upward, but start slowing down.
The object will start going down, and speeding up.
Impossible. Acceleration and velocity must always be in the same direction.
The object will continue upward with a constant velocity, because its too fast for gravity to affect it.
The object will continue upward, and speeding up.
What does the greek letter delta Δ mean? (Select all that apply)
Distance
Difference
Subtraction
Change
Displacement
A negative velocity means:
Slowing down.
Going very, very slow.
A dangerous speed.
An object moving in the negative direction.
Impossible. You can't be slower than 0 m/s.
Which of the following is impossible:
Negative displacement.
Negative velocity.
Negative acceleration.
Negative speed.
Negative position.
(Select all that apply)
Acceleration means:
slowing down.
speeding up.
changing direction.
going very fast.
balanced forces.
Changing the velocity means acceleration. However, if you change the acceleration of an object, that is called:
Absement

The gravitational field is approximately 10 m/s2. What does this mean?
Things fall at a constant velocity of 10 m/s.
Things falling get faster by 10 m/s for every second that goes by.
Things falling eventually reach a terminal velocity of 10 m/s.
Things falling move 10 meters every second that goes by.
Acceleration is calculated by:
how far an object goes divided by the time to get there.
total falling time divided by terminal velocity.
change in velocity divided by time needed to accomplish change.
change in velocity divided by distance to accomplish change.
