Total questions: 15
Worksheet time: 14mins
How can you interpret graphs to determine acceleration?
By looking at the slope of the graph
By counting the number of points on the graph
By measuring the area under the graph
By checking the color of the graph
What is the term used to describe the change in velocity over time?
Speed
Slope
Acceleration
Distance
Which statement best describes the motion of the sled in photo?
It is slow when it starts moving and fast when it reaches the bottom of the hill
It is fast when it starts moving and slow when it reaches the bottom of the hill
It is constant throughout
It is unpredictable
If a car travels 3 kilometers in 1 hour, 50 kilometers in 1 hour, and 211 kilometers in 2 hours, what is the total distance traveled?
50 km
211 km
264 km
300 km
What is the formula for calculating slope? found on Page 201
Slope = Run / Rise
Slope = Rise / Run
Slope = Rise + Run
Slope = Run - Rise
What part of velocity is important for the formation of a marching band that is not shown by a distance-versus-time graph?
Speed
Direction
Acceleration
Time
Do all of the members of a marching band have to move at the same velocity at all times?
Yes, to maintain the formation
No, they can move at different velocities
Yes, to avoid collisions
No, only the leader needs to maintain velocity
If a thunderstorm is traveling at a speed of 25 km/h, what additional information do you need to know to prepare for the storm?
The storm's temperature
The storm's direction
The storm's size
The storm's humidity
What can an error in determining a velocity, either in speed or in direction, lead to?
A delay in flight schedules
A collision
A change in weather patterns
An increase in fuel consumption
What is the term used to describe the speed at which an object travels in a given direction?
Speed
Acceleration
Velocity
Momentum
