1. QuestionMultiple choice

Which equation gives average velocity?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is vavg=ΔxΔtv_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: Average velocity is displacement divided by elapsed time, so the relationship is vavg=ΔxΔtv_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is vavg=ΔxΔtv_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}.

Average velocity is displacement divided by elapsed time, so the relationship is vavg=ΔxΔtv_{avg}=\frac{\Delta x}{\Delta t}.

2. QuestionMultiple choice

How does displacement differ from distance?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: B

The correct answer is Displacement includes direction, while distance is the total path length.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: Distance is a scalar path length; displacement is a vector from the initial position to the final position.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is Displacement includes direction, while distance is the total path length.

Distance is a scalar path length; displacement is a vector from the initial position to the final position.

3. QuestionMultiple choice

What does acceleration measure?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: C

The correct answer is The rate at which velocity changes.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time: a=ΔvΔta=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is The rate at which velocity changes.

Acceleration is change in velocity per unit time: a=ΔvΔta=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}.

4. QuestionMultiple choice

What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: D

The correct answer is Acceleration.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: The slope is ΔvΔt\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, which is acceleration.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is Acceleration.

The slope is ΔvΔt\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}, which is acceleration.

5. QuestionMultiple choice

An object moves with constant velocity. What is its acceleration?

Please select an answer first.

Correct answer: A

The correct answer is Zero.

  1. Identify the physics model: Determine whether the problem concerns motion, force, energy, momentum, waves, electricity, magnetism, or experimental data.
  2. Apply the relationship: Constant velocity means velocity does not change, so a=ΔvΔt=0a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=0.
  3. Check units and direction: The correct answer is Zero.

Constant velocity means velocity does not change, so a=ΔvΔt=0a=\frac{\Delta v}{\Delta t}=0.
