The following physics responses are provided by a student and, as such, should be considered in that context. While every effort is made for accuracy, absolute correctness cannot be fully guaranteed.
| C | I | Question | Answer |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | A change in a physical quantity w having initial value wi and final value wf is given by which of the following? | wf - wi | |
| 2 | A cheetah can maintain its maximum speed of 100 km/hr for 30.0 seconds. What minimum distance must a gazelle running 80.0 km/hr be ahead of the cheetah to escape? | 167 m | |
| 2 | A cheetah can run at approximately 100 km/hr and a gazelle at 80.0 km/hr. If both animals are running at full speed, with the gazelle 70.0 m ahead, how long before the cheetah catches its prey? | 12.6 s | |
| 2 | A drag racer starts from rest and accelerates at 10 m/s^2 for the entire distance of 400 m (1/4 mile). What is the velocity of the race car at the end of the run? | 89 m/s | |
| 2 | A European sports car dealer claims that his car will accelerate at a constant rate from rest to 100 km/hr in 8.00 s. If so, what is the acceleration? (Hint: First convert speed to m/s.) | 3.47 m/s^2 | |
| 2 | A European sports car dealer claims that his product will accelerate at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 100 km/hr in 8.00 s. What distance will the sports car travel during the 8 s acceleration period? (Hint: First convert speed to m/s.) | 111 m | |
| 2 | A European sports car dealer claims that his product will accelerate at a constant rate from rest to a speed of 100 km/hr in 8.00 s. What is the speed after the first 5.00 s of acceleration? (Hint: First convert the speed to m/s.) | 17.4 m/s | |
| 2 | A parachutist jumps out of an airplane and accelerates with gravity to a maximum velocity of 58.8 m/s in 6.00 seconds. She then pulls the parachute cord and after a 4.00-second constant deceleration, descends at 10.0 m/s for 60.0 seconds, reaching the ground. From what height did the parachutist jump? | 914 m | |
| 2 | A railroad train travels forward along a straight track at 80.0 m/s for 1 000 m and then travels at 50.0 m/s for the next 1 000 m. What is the average velocity? | 61.5 m/s | |
| 2 | A rock is thrown straight down with an initial velocity of 14.5 m/s from a cliff. What is the rock's displacement after 2.0 s? (Acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s^2.) | 49m | |
| 2 | A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 19.6 m/s. What time interval elapses between the rock's being thrown and its return to the original launch point? (Acceleration due to gravity is 9.80 m/s^2.) | 4.00 s | |
| 2 | A rock is thrown straight up with an initial velocity of 24.5 m/s. What maximum height will the rock reach before starting to fall downward? (Take acceleration due to gravity as 9.80 m/s^2.) | 30.6 m | |
| 2 | A rock, released at rest from the top of a tower, hits the ground after 1.5 s. What is the speed of the rock as it hits the ground? (g = 9.8 m/s^2 and air resistance is negligible) | 15 m/s | |
| 2 | A strobe photograph of a car moving along a straight road shows the interval between each successive image to be diminishing. If the direction of motion of the car is taken as positive, which of the following are negative? | the average acceleration of the car | |
| 2 | A strobe photograph shows equally spaced images of a car moving along a straight road. If the time intervals between images is constant, which of the following cannot be positive? | the acceleration of the car |
