9. Answer Write a + or - next to the directions which are positive and negative respectively. a. up b. left c. east + - +

10. 100 This is the rate at which velocity changes

11. Answer This is the rate at which velocity changes acceleration

12. 300 This is the value of the acceleration due to gravity

13. Answer This is the value of the acceleration due to gravity 9.8 m/s2

14. 300 Why is the position vs time graph for an object in freefall a curve?

15. Answer Why is the position vs time graph for an object in freefall a curve? gravity is acting on the object causing it to accelerate, and objects which are accelerating show up as a curve on a position vs time graph.

16. 200 If you walk 8 blocks north from your house and then 3 blocks south how far did you walk? What is your position relative to your house?

17. Answer If you walk 8 blocks north from your house and then 3 blocks south how far did you walk? What is your position relative to your house? you walked 11 blocks, you are 5 blocks north of your house.

18. 200 You know time and speed. What is the equation for finding distance?

19. Answer You know time and speed. What is the equation for finding distance? d = t * v Other ways to write this equation: t = d/v v = d/t You need to know how to use all 3 for the test.

20. 100 What is the equation for finding acceleration?

21. Answer What is the equation for finding acceleration? acceleration = (vfinal - vinitial)/time Also know how to find slope of a line. slope = (Y2 - Y1)/(X2 - X1)
