Read each question carefully and provide your best answer. Show all your work for calculations.
1. Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
Displacement
Velocity
Speed
Acceleration
2. An object moving at a constant velocity has:
Positive acceleration
Negative acceleration
Zero acceleration
Changing speed
3. The rate at which an object changes its position is called .
4. is the change in velocity divided by the time it took for the change to occur.
5. A position-time graph with a straight, horizontal line indicates that the object is .
6. Displacement is always equal to the total distance traveled.
True
False
7. A negative acceleration always means the object is slowing down.
True
False
8. Define the terms 'distance' and 'displacement' and explain the key difference between them.
9. A car accelerates from rest at a constant rate of 3.0 m/s² for 5.0 seconds. Calculate the final velocity of the car.
10. Analyze the following velocity-time graph for an object.
a) Describe the motion of the object from 0 to 10 seconds.
b) Calculate the acceleration of the object from 10 to 30 seconds.
c) Calculate the total displacement of the object from 0 to 40 seconds.
