Review Part I
Lesson 1: Know how to calculate distance, time and speed. Use the formula speed = distance ÷ time

Sylvester Snail crawls at a speed of 12 mm/minute for a distance of 110 millimeters. How much time does it take him to travel this distance?
Leah drives to California and covers a distance of 4,100 miles in 55 hours. What is her average speed?
Mike leaves his house at 6:30 AM and arrives at his sister’s house at 11:00 AM. What is his average speed in mi/hr if he traveled 300 miles?
Lesson 2: Know how to calculate acceleration both positive and negative.
- A car is at rest and accelerated to 70 miles/hr. in 0.25 hours. What is its acceleration?
- A sprinter is running at a speed of 12 m/s and slows to a stop in 8 seconds. What is the acceleration?
- Mrs. Simon’s dog, Oscar, chases a ball at a speed of 15 m/s and slows down to 3 m/s to retrieve it. He slows down in 4 seconds. What is his acceleration?
- Define centripetal acceleration and give a real life example of where you would see it.
Lesson 3: Know how to calculate net force and how to use Newton’s three laws of motion.
Net force = /
Net force =
Net force = 12 N left
A= /
Net force = 52 N right
B =
