vibration

b)

tone

c)

measurement

d)

direction

7.

a)

both

b)

velocity

c)

speed

d)

direction

8.

The curved line on this distance-versus-time graph tells you that the object is ____________.

accelerating

d)

speeding

9.

  1. Nora is learning to drive. She manages to increase the car's speed from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. What is the acceleration of the car?

Initial speed = 0 m/s

Time = 10 s

Remember (final speed – initial speed) ÷ time is acceleration.


a)

10 m/s

b)

10 m/s^2

c)

3 m/s^2

d)

30 m/s
