In which of the following cases does a car have zero acceleration?
A car speeding up after a stoplight turns green.
A car slowing down when it approaches a stop sign.
A car set on cruise control so that is maintains 45 mi/hr.
A car turning a curve at a constant speed.
Which of the following is an example of deceleration?
a car approaching a stop sign and slowing down
a plane increasing speed down the runway and then taking flight
a roller coaster moving down a steep hill
an airplane cruising in a straight flight plan
Acceleration is just when an object speeds up?
True, only objects speeding up is acceleration
False, objects speeding up and slowing down is acceleration.
Acceleration and velocity are the same thing.
True, they both measure speed
False, acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes. Velocity is the speed AND direction of an object.
What kind of motion is taking place between points A and B?
constant acceleration
constant de
changing acceleration
constant speed
What kind of motion is taking place between points C and D?
constant acceleration
constant deceleration
not moving
constant speed
Speed = _______________
Distance + time
Distance – time
Distance x time
Distance / time
This occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.
