9. 8. Sharon drops her wallet from the top floor of a tall building
8. Sharon drops her wallet from the top floor of a tall building. It takes 2.8 seconds for the wallet to reach the ground. What was the wallet’s speed just before hitting the ground?
V = m/s

10. 9. Calculate the instantaneous velocity at10
.33 m/s 30

11. 10. Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson runs one time around the track meters - in 38 seconds. What is his average velocity?
Since average velocity is displacement over time, his average velocity is also
0 m/s.

12. 11. A fullback is running down the football field in a straight line
11. A fullback is running down the football field in a straight line. He starts at the 0-yard line at 0 seconds. At 1 second, he is on the 10-yard line; at 2 seconds, he is on the 20-yard line; at 3 seconds, he is on the 30-yard line; and at 4 seconds, he is on the 40-yard line. This is evidence that
A) he is accelerating
B) he is covering a greater distance in each consecutive second.
he is moving with a
constant speed
(on average)

13. 12. Ryan through his hat straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s
12. Ryan through his hat straight up with an initial speed of 15 m/s. What is the maximum height the hat reached before it began to fall back down?
11.5 m

14. 13. Sharon drops her wallet from the top floor of a tall building
13. Sharon drops her wallet from the top floor of a tall building. It takes 2.8 seconds for the wallet to reach the ground. Its final velocity was m/s. What was the height of the building?
38.4 m

15. 14. Olympic gold medalist Michael Johnson runs one time around the track meters - in 38 seconds. What is
his displacement?
Michael finishes where he started, so he is not "out of place." His displacement is 0 meters. 

16. 15. As an object freely falls, its ____. a. speed increases
b. acceleration increases
c. both of these
d. none of these
As an object falls, it accelerates; this means that the speed will be changing. While falling, the speed increases by 10 m/s every second. The acceleration is a constant value of 10 m/s/s; thus, choice b should not be chosen

17. 16. Which of the following statements about vectors and scalars are TRUE?
1-Vectors are large quantities & scalars are small quantity.
2-Scalars have magnitude and vectors do not.
3- Vectors are described with a direction and scalars are not.
4-A scalar quantity depends only upon the initial and final values of the quantity; this is not the case for vector quantities.
5-The quantity 20 m/s, north is a speed and as such is a scalar quantity.
6-The quantity 9.8 m/s/s is an acceleration value and as such is a vector quantity.

18. 17. If car A passes car B, then car
A must be ____.
A) accelerating.
B) accelerating at a greater rate than car B.
C) moving faster than car B and accelerating more than car B.
D) moving faster than car B, but not necessarily accelerating .

19. 18. Which one of the following is NOT consistent with a car which is accelerating?
a) A car is moving with an increasing speed.
A car is moving with
a decreasing speed.
c)A car is moving with a high speed.
d) A car is changing direction

20. 19. Which one of the following statements is NOT true of a free-falling object? An object in a state of free fall ____.
a) falls with a constant speed of -10 m/s.
b) falls with a acceleration of -10 m/s/s.
c) falls under the sole influence of gravity.
d) falls with downward acceleration which has a constant magnitude

21. 20. What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a constant
velocity of 55 mi/hr for
10.0 seconds?
If the velocity is constant, there
Is no acceleration. A = 0 .
