    1. The physics teacher walks at a constant speed of 0.5 m/s for 24 seconds along the path shown, so their velocity is 0 m/s as the displacement is zero. 2. The cyclist traveled 12,250 m southwest in 1 hour, so their velocity was 3.8 m/s southwest. 3. The initial velocity of an object starting from rest is zero.

    Motion _ Practice Questions

    Question 1 is based on the following diagram. Write your answers in the blanks.

    1. According to the diagram, a physics teacher (T) starts from a point and walks following the
    arrowed path and the distance and direction as shown. The entire motion lasts for 24 seconds.
    The speed of the teacher is _____________,
    0.5ms-1 and the velocity of the teacher is_____________.
    0ms-1

    2. If a cyclist in the Tour de France travels southwest a total distance of 12,250 m in 1 hour, what
    would the velocity of the cyclist be?
    A. 3.80 m/s southwest
    B. 3.40 m/s southwest
    C. 3.40 m/s northwest
    D. 3.80 m/s southeast

    3. The initial velocity of a body starting from rest is _____________,


    A. 1 m/s
    B. 2 m/s
    C. zero

    Questions 4–6 refer to the following information.


    Acceleration (a) is the rate of change of velocity (v) of an object; that is,
    acceleration = velocity/time or a = v/t
    The unit of acceleration is m/s2. Acceleration is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude
    and direction. The direction of the acceleration vector depends on two things: whether the object
    is speeding up or slowing down, and whether the object is moving in the positive or negative
    direction. The general principle for determining acceleration is that if an object is slowing down,
    then its acceleration is in the opposite direction of its motion.
    The acceleration of gravity (g) is the acceleration for any object moving under the sole influence
    of gravitational force. The numerical value for the acceleration of gravity is 9.8 m/s2.

    4. A velocity versus time graph for a free-falling object is shown. Which of the following
    statements can be inferred from this graph?

    A. It shows negative velocity and positive acceleration.


    B. It shows negative velocity and negative acceleration.
    C. It shows negative velocity and positive momentum.
    D. It shows a body at rest.
    5. Under which condition is an object accelerating?
    A. only when its speed changes
    B. only when its direction changes
    C. when its speed or direction changes
    D. only when its velocity increases
    6. A pitcher requires about 0.2 second to throw a baseball. If the ball leaves his hand with a
    velocity of 80 m/s, what is its acceleration?
    A. 40 m/s2
    B. 400 m/s2
    C. 40 m/s
    D. 4 m/s
    7. An eagle flies due east 40 miles per hour for 1 hour and 30 minutes and then 10 miles in the
    opposite direction at 20 miles per hour. How far did it fly? _____________miles.
    60

    8. What is the eagle’s displacement? _____________


    50 miles
    9. Which of the following represents the eagle’s velocity?
    A. 40 mph
    B. 40 mph east
    C. 25 mph
    D. 25 mph east
    Directions: Choose the best answer for each of the following items. Questions 10 and 11 are
    based on the following graph.

    10. Complete the statement with a number.


    The object represented in the graph was moving with a speed of______________________
    1 miles
    per minute.
    11. What type of acceleration is demonstrated by the object in the graph?
    A. speeding up
    B. slowing down
    C. no acceleration
    D. changing direction

    Question 12 refers to the following graph, the paragraph below.

    Graphs are often used to convey information about motion. One type of motion graph shows
    distance and time. Distance is measured from a particular starting point. If the distance graph has
    a straight, horizontal line, the distance is unchanging and the object is not moving. If the distance
    graph has a straight line with an upward slope, the distance is changing at a constant rate; this
    means that the object is moving at a constant speed. If the distance graph is a curve, the object is
    accelerating or decelerating, depending on the shape of the curve.
    12. What does the graph above show?
    A. an object that is not moving
    B. an object that has a constant speed
    C. an object that is accelerating
    D. an object that is decelerating
