Answers should be mostly in order with your book and notes. You are allowed to write on this paper but you may write on a different paper if you need more space.
Chapter 11 Study Guide
- What do you need to accurately describe motion?
- What is relative motion?
- What is distance?
- What is the SI unit for distance?
- What is displacement?
- How are distance and displacement different?
- You walk 12 meters left. Then you walk 5 more meters left. What is your total distance walked?
- See number 7. What is your total displacement?
- You walk 20 meters west. Then you turn around and walk 15 meters east. What is your total distance walked?
- See number 9. What is your total displacement?
- You walk 5 meters north. Then you walk 2 meters east. Then you walk 1 meter north. What is your total distance walked?
- See number 11. What is your total displacement? You need graph paper for this one!
- What is speed?
- What is the SI unit for speed?
- What is the formula for speed? Know this for the test!!
- How are average and instantaneous speeds different?
- If a person runs 50 meters in 15 seconds, what was their speed?
- What is the slope of a distance-time graph?
- What does a straight line on a distance-time graph mean? A perfect diagonal? A curved line?
- What is velocity?
- What is acceleration?
- What is the SI unit for acceleration?
- What is the acceleration of a freefalling object on Earth?
- What is the formula for acceleration?
- If a car traveling 45 km/hr comes to a complete stop at a red light in 60 seconds, what was its deceleration? Remember to change seconds to hours by dividing by 60 twice before plugging into the formula!
- The cheetah can run a distance of 274 m in 8.65 s at its top speed. What is the cheetah’s top speed?
- What is the slope of a speed-time graph?
- What does a straight line on a speed-time graph mean? A perfect diagonal? A curved line?
