Question 8

The slope at a point on a position-versus-time graph of an object is:

Accepted Answer

The object's velocity at that point.

Question 9

Suppose we define the y-axis to point vertically upward. When an object is in free fall, its acceleration in the y-direction is:

Accepted Answer

$$a_y = g$$, where $$g = -9.80\ \mathrm{m/s}^2$$

Question 10

Which of the following statements about acceleration due to gravity is correct?

Accepted Answer

It is negative when defined upward as positive.

Question 11

Accepted Answer

$$77.8\ \mathrm{m}$$

Question 12

Given vectors $$\vec{A} = 100\hat{i} + 200\hat{j}$$ and $$\vec{B} = 200\hat{i} + 800\hat{j}$$, what is the magnitude of $$\vec{C} = \vec{A} + \vec{B}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$1000\sqrt{0.05}$$

Question 13

Which of the following is a vector quantity?

Accepted Answer

Displacement

Question 14

If an object moves with constant acceleration, which equation relates its displacement $$\Delta x to $$its initial velocity $$v_0$$, acceleration $$a$$, and time $$t$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\Delta x = v_0$ t + \frac{1}{2} a t^2$

Question 15

A ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial velocity of $$20\ \mathrm{m/s}. $$What is its velocity after $$2\ \mathrm{s}$$? (Take $$g = 9.8\ \mathrm{m/s}^2$$ downward.)

Accepted Answer

$$0.4\ \mathrm{m/s}$$

Question 16

Which of the following best describes the difference between distance and displacement?

Accepted Answer

Distance is the total path length; displacement is the straight-line change in position.
