Question 1

Question
A tractor is moving in a straight line, in a direction we shall define as x. Its Position versus Time graph is shown by the graph at the left:
Answer
  • A
  • B

Question 2

Question
A tractor is moving in a straight line, in a direction we shall define as x. Its Position versus Time graph is shown by the graph at the left: (a) What is the position of the tractor, in meters, at 2.0 seconds? [blank_start]Answer[blank_end] (b) What is the slope of the line in the graph above, in m/s? Give your answer in decimal form. [blank_start]Answer[blank_end]
Answer
  • 0.8
  • 0.3

Question 3

Question
Suppose a second tractor is also moving in the x-direction, but at a higher speed. How would the Position versus Time graph of the second tractor be different to the one shown?
Answer
  • The slope would be smaller.
  • The slope would be greater.
  • The intercept would be smaller.
  • The intercept would be larger.

Question 4

Question
Which of the following are vector quantities? Select two.
Answer
  • Velocity
  • Speed
  • Acceleration
  • Distance

Question 5

Question
If a car moves with constant acceleration, is it possible for the car’s velocity to change direction?
Answer
  • Yes, this is possible if the car starts from rest, speeds up, slows to a stop, and then backs up.
  • Yes, this is possible if the car is moving up and down a ramp, for example.
  • No, this is not possible because the car is always speeding up.
  • No, this is not possible because the car is either always speeding up or always slowing down.

Question 6

Question
If a car’s initial velocity is zero and acceleration is negative, which of the following best describes the motion of the car?
Answer
  • The car speeds up with a velocity in the negative direction.
  • The car slows down.
  • The car remains at rest.
  • The car speeds up from rest.

Question 7

Question
When acceleration and velocity vectors are pointing in opposite directions, the object is:
Answer
  • moving at constant speed.
  • not moving.
  • speeding up.
  • slowing down.
