How many meters are in 0.35 kilometers? 5. How many kilograms are in 250 grams? 6. How many meters per second are in 24 km per hour? 7. Write the general form of an equation for the following shaped graphs, and sketch the shape of each one. linear: parabolic: hyperbolic: 8. Sketch a position vs. time graph where an object is: At rest: at a constant velocity accelerating Unit 2: Motion in 1 Dimension 9. Define displacement both verbally and with a mathematical formula. What are units? 10. What is the difference between distance and displacement? 11. If you drive 370 km west and you left your house at 10 am and you get there at 3 pm, what was your average velocity? 12. What does the slope of a position vs. time graph tell you about the motion of the object? Know how to find the slope of a line (rise / run) on the midterm! 13. Define acceleration both verbally and with a mathematical formula. What are the units? 14. An automobile with an initial speed of 4.30 m/s accelerates uniformly at the rate of 3.00 m/s2 over 5.0 seconds. Find the final speed and the displacement of the car during this time. 15. A motorboat accelerates uniformly from a velocity of 1.5 m/s west to a velocity of 6.5 m/s west. If its acceleration was 2.7 m/s2 west, how far did it travel during the acceleration? 16. An object is dropped from rest at a height of 25 m off the ground. How much time does it take to fall? 17. A ball is thrown straight up in the air. At its peak, the ball has velocity of ___________ and acceleration of _____________. Unit 3: Motion in 2 Dimensions 18. What is the difference between a vector and a scalar? 19.

What are the horizontal and vertical components to the truck’s velocity? 22. Define a projectile: 23. Suppose you kick a rock horizontally off a 221 meter high bridge with a speed of 6 m/s. How far away from the bridge does it land? 24. A golf ball is hit at some angle and travels out a distance away from the tee. What is its acceleration..
