Questions and Answers
  • 1. 

    A car travels 25 meters in 5 seconds. What is the speed of the car?

    • A.

      125 m/s

    • B.

      0.2 m/s

    • C.

      5 m/s

    • D.

      25 m/s

    Correct Answer
    C. 5 m/s
    Explanation
    The formula for speed is s=distance/time. The distance traveled was 25 meters. The time it took to travel that distance was 5 seconds. Therefore, s= 25m/5s to give an answer of 5 m/s

  • 3. 

     Use the following graph to answer questions 3 and 4.At which point on the graph was the object's motion at a constant velocity?

    • A.

      A

    • B.

      B

    • C.

      C

    • D.

      None of the above

    Correct Answer
    B. B
    Explanation
    From 20 to 48 seconds the object maintains a constant velocity of 40 m/s. The object does not accelerate.

  • 4. 

    Use the graph was question 3 and answer the following question.What was the object's acceleration from 0 to 20 seconds?

    • A.

      40 m/s

    • B.

      40 m/s/s

    • C.

      20 m/s

    • D.

      20 m/s/s

    Correct Answer
    D. 20 m/s/s
    Explanation
    a= v(final)- v(initial)/change in time
    a= (40m/s- 0m/s)/(20s- 0s)= 20m/s/s

    Rate this question:

  • 5. 

    What is the momentum of an object with a mass of 150 kg moving with a velocity of 20m/s?

    • A.

      300 kg*m/s

    • B.

      3000 kg*m/s

    • C.

      7.5 kg*m/s

    • D.

      There is not enough information.

    Correct Answer
    B. 3000 kg*m/s
    Explanation
    momentum= mass x velocity
    momentum= 150 kg x 20m/s
    momentume= 3000 kg* m/s
