t, v_i, Δx, Δx or Δy, a, v_f, t, Δy
Δx, Δy, t, vi, vf, or a
a, t, vi, vf, Δx, Δy
vi, vf, Δx, Δy, t, a
A person swims to the other end of a 20 m long pool and back. What is their displacement?
0 m (since displacement is the change in position and they return to the starting point)
20 m (the length of the pool)
40 m (the total distance swum)
10 m (half the length of the pool)
A rock falls 15 m. Is this vertical or horizontal motion? What is the displacement of the rock?
Vertical motion; Displacement = 15 m downward
Horizontal motion; Displacement = 15 m to the right
Vertical motion; Displacement = 15 m upward
Horizontal motion; Displacement = 15 m to the left
A car moving 12 m/s stops in 3 seconds. Vf =
0 m/s (since the car stops)
3 m/s
6 m/s
12 m/s
You throw a rock into the air and catch it as it returns. What is the displacement of the rock?
0 m (returns to starting point)
5 m (height reached)
10 m (total distance traveled)
-5 m (negative height)
t, Δx = (Vf + Vi)/2 * t
a, Δx = Vi * t + 0.5 * a * t²
t, Δx = Vf * t - 0.5 * a * t²
t, vf2=vi2+2aΔx
Vi, Δx = Vi * t + 0.5 * a * t²
t, Δx = Vf * t + 0.5 * a * t²
vi, Δx = Vf * t - 0.5 * a * t²
Δx, Δx = Vi * t + a * t
Δy, Vf = Vi + a * t
Δx, Vf = Vi + a * t
t, Vf = Vi * a * t
d, Vf = Vi / a * t
In 10 seconds a car accelerates 4 m/s² to 60 m/s. How fast was the car going before it accelerated?
Vi = 50 m/s
Vi = 10 m/s
Vi = 40 m/s
Vi = 20 m/s
An object moving 2 m/s experiences an acceleration of 3 m/s² for 8 seconds. How far did it move in that time?
112 m
48 m
96 m
128 m
An object at rest starts accelerating. If it travels 40 meters to end up going 20 m/s, what was its acceleration?
5 m/s²
2 m/s²
10 m/s²
8 m/s²
A model rocket climbs 200 m in 4 seconds. If it was moving 10 m/s to begin with, what is its final velocity?
50 m/s
40 m/s
90 m/s
110 m/s
A car stops in 120 m. If it has an acceleration of -5 m/s², how long did it take to stop?
t ≈ 6.93 s
t ≈ 4.90 s
t ≈ 9.80 s
t ≈ 3.50 s
An object drops 20 m from a cliff. If it started at rest and is going 20 m/s just before it hits the ground, what is its acceleration?
10 m/s²
5 m/s²
20 m/s²
2 m/s²
Two vehicles move in opposite directions to each other with constant speeds of 20 m/s and 30 m/s, as shown in the figure. If the initial distance between the vehicles is 100 km, how many seconds later do they meet?
4000m
3000s
2000s
2s
Two motorcyclists are moving towards each other at a constant velocity of 15 km/h. When the distance between them is 30 km, a bird, above the red motorcyclist, starts to fly at a velocity of 25 km/h towards the blue motorcyclist, as shown in the figure. As soon as the bird reaches the blue motorcyclist, it turns back and flies towards the red motorcyclist at the same speed. After flying backwards and forwards between the two motorcyclists in this way, how many km of distance will the bird have flown when the motorcyclists meet?
23 m
200 km
25 m
25 km
