A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Because the meteor was only 45 m wide and was 27,700 km above Earth's surface, it was not visible without the aid of a telescope. Which statement describes the meteor's motion?
Its velocity was 7.8 km/s northward.
Its acceleration was 468 km/s2.
Its speed was 468 km/s northward.
Its acceleration was 7.8 km/s2.
Which of the following best describes the velocity of an object?
30 m/s
30 m east
30 m/s east
30 m/s2
What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?
Velocity is the change in distance over time, while speed is the change in velocity over time.
Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.
Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.
Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in velocity over time.
The three vehicles shown below are all traveling at a speed of 15 m/s, but only the pickup truck has a changing velocity. The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck -
can accelerate faster than the other two vehicles
is traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles
is traveling on a curve in the road
needs a large amount of force to move
During a demonstration of Newton's laws of motion, a student used the setup shown in Figure 1. The student flicked the index card with a fingertip, and the coin fell straight down into a plastic cup as shown in Figure 2. Which of these best explains why the coin fell straight down into the cup instead of remaining on the index card?
The coin was at rest until the card was removed, so it tended to remain in the same location. Once the card was gone, the unbalanced force of gravity caused the coin to fall.
Moving the card applied an action force on the coin. Since the card was gone, gravity applied a reaction force on the coin.
The card had less mass than the coin, so a smaller force of gravity acted on the card. The larger force of gravity on the coin made it fall.
The acceleration of the coin following into the cup was equal and opposite to the acceleration of the card.
