1. Marissa and her family travel from Slidell, Louisiana to Memphis, Tennessee. When Marissa<br />
divides the total distance they traveled by the total time they were traveling, she is calculating<br />
their:<br />
a. instantaneous speed.<br />
b. c<strong>on</strong>stant speed.<br />
c. average speed. Correct<br />
d. variable speed.<br />
2. Speed is:<br />
a. calculated by dividing the distance traveled by the time taken.<br />
b. zero for objects at rest.<br />
c. a measure of how quickly an object gets from <strong>on</strong>e place to another.<br />
d. All of the above Correct<br />
3. What's the difference between speed and velocity?<br />
Speed is a scalar and <strong>on</strong>ly has magnitude. Velocity has both magnitude and directi<strong>on</strong>.<br />
4. Light travels 3.00x10 8 m/s. How l<strong>on</strong>g does it take to go around the Earth (the circumference of the<br />
Earth is 4.01x10 7 m)<br />
v = d/t<br />
t=d/v<br />
v= 3.00 x 10 8 m/s d=4.01 x 10 7 m<br />
t= 4.01 x 10 7 m / 3.00 x 10 8 m/s = =0.133s<br />
5. According to the reading, in the particle method, could you use a runner’s arm or leg as a point for<br />
the moti<strong>on</strong> diagram?<br />
No. You have to ignore the internal moti<strong>on</strong> of the object such as the waving of the arms and<br />
legs. You should choose a point near the center of the runner’s waistline. (page 33)<br />
6. In 1/2 hour, a bicyclist traveled 20 kilometers. What was the bicyclist’s average speed?<br />
v = d/t<br />
v= 20km/0.5hr = 40km/hr
7. You and your friend each drive 50.0km. You travel at 90.0km/hr and your friend travels at<br />
95.0km/hr. How l<strong>on</strong>g will your friend have to wait for you at the end of the trip?<br />
d = 50.0km v you = 90.0km/hr v=d/t so t=d/v t you = 50.0km/90.0km/hr = 0.556hr<br />
d = 50.0km v friend = 95.0km/hr t=d/v t friend =50.0km/95.0km/hr = 0.526hr<br />
t you -t friend = 0.556hr – 0.526hr = 0.029hr = 1.8min<br />
8. Which positi<strong>on</strong> vs. time graph below shows the slowest speed?<br />
9. You walk 20.0m east then turn around and walk 15.0m west. What is your displacement from<br />
your starting positi<strong>on</strong>?<br />
Total distance = 20.0m + 15.0m = 35.0m BUT Displacement depends <strong>on</strong> directi<strong>on</strong>. If we use<br />
East to be positive: +20.0m + (-15.0m) = +5.0m east<br />
10. Gwennen rides her bicycle 4.8 kilometers up a steep hill in 8 minutes. Her speed is ____<br />
kilometers per minute. (4 points)<br />
a. 0.3 km/min<br />
b. 0.6 km/min Correct<br />
c. 1.67 km/min<br />
d. 38.4 km/min<br />
11. Two cars are moving with the same speed. The velocity of both cars will be the same if the cars<br />
are moving in: (4 points)<br />
a. circles.<br />
b. opposite directi<strong>on</strong>s.<br />
c. straight lines.
meters<br />
d. the same directi<strong>on</strong>. Correct<br />

12. Which moti<strong>on</strong> diagram below corresp<strong>on</strong>ds to the positi<strong>on</strong> vs. time graph above? (circle all that<br />
apply) Both A and D could be correct. There are no scales <strong>on</strong> the moti<strong>on</strong> diagram, so<br />
either <strong>on</strong>e could be correct. B and C show a change in speed and there is no change in<br />
speed <strong>on</strong> the graph.<br />
13. Circle all the vectors in the following list:<br />
a. 5 m scalar<br />
b. 30 m/sec, East vector<br />
c. 5 mi., North vector
meters<br />
d. 20 degrees Celsius scalar<br />
e. 256 bytes scalar<br />
f. 4000 Calories scalar<br />

14. Which student <strong>on</strong> the above graph shows the highest average speed for the entire race<br />
(48 sec<strong>on</strong>ds)?<br />
1 2 3 4<br />
Student 1 has the steepest slope.<br />
15. Which student was farthest from the origin at the beginning (time = 0.0s)?<br />
1 2 3 4<br />
Student 4 was 30m from the origin at the beginning.<br />
16. Which student <strong>on</strong> the above graph is moving backwards (moving closer to the origin)?<br />
1 2 3 4<br />
Student 4 has a negative slope and is getting closer to the origin.<br />
17. At what time did student 1 and student 4 meet?
meters<br />
a. 0.0s<br />
b. 30.0s<br />
c. 32s<br />
d. 48s<br />
e. They d<strong>on</strong>’t meet.<br />
f. You can’t tell from the data.<br />
C is the best answer. The two students at the same distance from the origin at 34s.<br />
18. Why was it important to use layers for building your paper tower?<br />
Layers give more strength and allow you to build higher.<br />
19. If you were allowed to use 50 sheets of paper, how could you have built a taller tower?<br />
Answers will vary, but you should be able to build a str<strong>on</strong>ger and wider base so you could add<br />
layers. Think about it. You could come up with at least three different things you could do.<br />

20. Will the two objects in the positi<strong>on</strong> vs. time graph above meet? If so, when?<br />
They will meet at 100 sec<strong>on</strong>ds. You can tell because that is where the graphs intersect or the<br />
two are at the same positi<strong>on</strong> at the same time.
