1) Consider a deer that runs from point A to point B. The distance the deer runs can be greater than the magnitude of its
displacement, but the magnitude of the displacement can never be greater than the distance it runs.
A) True
B) False
2) If the velocity of an object is zero at some point, then its acceleration must also be zero at that point.
A) True
B) False
3) Suppose that a car traveling to the west (-x direction) begins to slow down as it approaches a traffic light. Which
statement concerning its acceleration must be correct?
A) Its acceleration is positive.
B) Its acceleration is negative.
C) Its acceleration is zero.

4) A ball is thrown straight upward. At which point of the trajectory is the acceleration of the ball -9.8m/s2?
A) On its way up
B) On its way down
C) At the peak

B) Gohans will have a greater acceleration
C) Both will have the same acceleration
D) They will both have zero acceleration
6) A 10-kg rock and 20-kg rock are dropped from the same height and experience no significant air resistance. If it takes

objects continue to fall, their separation
A) increases.
B) decreases.
C) stays constant.
D) increases at first, but then stays constant.

B) a vertical straight line.
C) a straight line making an angle with the time axis.
D) a parabolic curve.

1. A space shuttle undergoes an acceleration of 53.9 m/s2. Starting from rest, how fast is it traveling at the end of 55.2 s?
(2980m/s)
2.

You toss a ball straight up in the air, it goes up, comes down, and you catch it. If it took 6.6 s from when you threw it
to when you caught it, how high did it go? (53m)

3. The Batmobile is going down Coit at 180.km/hr. How far does it travel in 4.0 minutes? (12km)
4. A gazelle is galloping at a steady 35km/hr, but speeds upt to 63km/hr in just 4 seconds when it sees a stormtrooper
pursuing it. What distance did the gazelle cover in that 4 second interval? (54m)
5.

You are on top of a building that is 70.0 m tall. You toss a ball straight up with an initial velocity of 41.5 m/s. (A)
How high does the ball travel? It goes up and then falls down to the ground below. (B) How much time is it in the
air? (88m above the building; 9.9sec)

4. In coming to a stop, a car leaves skid marks 65.0 meters long. Assuming a deceleration of 5.00 m/s2, calculate the
speed of the car just before braking. (25.5m/s)
