What do the following units represent? Use “d” for distance, “t” for time, “v” for velocity, or “a” for acceleration.

d 15. 14 km t 18. 6 hours d 21. 14 mi d 24. 1.4 m

v 16. 30 m/sa 19. 12 cm/s2 t 22. 3.2 sec a 25. 6 cm/min/sec

  1. A Vector has both Magnitude anddirection.
  1. Define Displacement.

Change in position – how far you are from where you started, vector quantity.

  1. Define Velocity.Displacement traveled over time; rate of motion; vector quantity; speed plus direction.
  1. How is velocity different from acceleration?Velocity is the rate of distance traveled. Acceleration is the rate at which velocity changes.
  1. The proper units for acceleration arem/s2.
  1. The proper units for velocity arem/s.

Write the letter of the proper vocabulary word in the blank for each statement.There are more words than definitions.

a. Acceleration#46 / 41. A t. Vector has both magnitude and direction.
b. Meter#44 / 42. Your odometer tells youe. Distance, with no direction.
c. Second / 43. If you were to calculate the total distance you traveled on a trip, and divide by the total time it took you, you would find the r. Average Speed of your trip.
d. Average Velocity
e. Distance#42 / 44. The unit of displacement and distance is theb. Meter.
f. Meters per second#47 / 45. Instantaneous speed is different than instantaneous velocity because it lacksq. Direction.
g. Displacement#50
h. Instantaneous speed#49 / 46. The change in velocity per second isa. Acceleration.
i. Kinematics#52 / 47. Since velocity is measured in f. Meters per second, you have to make sure your time is in seconds.
j. Free Fall#48
k. miles per hour / 48. When an object is dropped from rest, it is inj. Free Fall.
l. Instantaneous Velocity / 49. Your speedometer tells you h. Instantaneous speed.
m. At rest#53 / 50. If you draw a straight line from where you started to where you ended up, you can measure yourg. Displacement.
n. Magnitude#54
o. Time#55 / 51. “g” is the acceleration due top. Gravity.
p. Gravity#51 / 52. The study of Motion isi. Kinematics.
q. Direction#45 / 53. If something is not moving it ism. At rest.
r. Average Speed#43 / 54. The n. Magnitudeof velocity is speed.
s. Stopwatch / 55. Distance divided by o. Time is speed.
t. Vector#41
