100This is the rate at which velocity changes

AnswerThis is the rate at which velocity changes

acceleration

300This is the value of the acceleration due to gravity

AnswerThis is the value of the acceleration due to gravity

9.8 m/s2

300Why is the position vs time graph for an object in freefall a curve?

AnswerWhy is the position vs time graph for an object in freefall a curve?

gravity is acting on the object causing it to accelerate, and objects which are accelerating show up as a curve on a position vs time graph.

200If you walk 8 blocks north from your house and then 3 blocks south how far did you walk? What is your position relative to your house?

AnswerIf you walk 8 blocks north from your house and then 3 blocks south how far did you walk? What is your position relative to your house?

you walked 11 blocks, you are 5 blocks north of your house.

200You know time and speed. What is the equation for finding distance?

AnswerYou know time and speed. What is the equation for finding distance?

d = t * vOther ways to write this equation:t = d/vv = d/tYou need to know how to use all 3 for the test.

100What is the equation for finding acceleration?

AnswerWhat is the equation for finding acceleration?

acceleration = (vfinal - vinitial)/time

Also know how to find slope of a line.

slope = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)
