Question 1

Question
A long-distance runner wishes to calculate her average speed for a race. Which calculation should she use?
Answer
  • average speed = total distance / total time
  • average speed = total distance × total time
  • average speed = total time / total distance
  • average speed = total distance + total time

Question 2

Question
A heavy metal ball falls vertically downwards through air past four equally spaced levels J, K, L and M.
Answer
  • speed is greatest between J and K: time is shortest between J and K
  • speed is greatest between J and K: time is shortest between L and M
  • speed is greatest between L and M; time is shortest between J and K
  • speed is greatest between L and M; time is shortest between L and M

Question 3

Question
A ball is rolling down one hill and up another. Points A and B are at the same height on the two different hills . How do the velocity and acceleration change as the ball rolls from point A to point B?
Answer
  • The velocity and acceleration are the same at both points.
  • The velocity and the magnitude of the acceleration are the same at both points, but the direction of the acceleration is opposite at B to the direction it had at A.
  • The horizontal component of the velocity is the same at points A and B, but the vertical component of the velocity has the same magnitude, but the opposite sign at B. The acceleration at points A and B are the same.
  • The vertical component of the velocity is the same at points A and B, but the horizontal component of the velocity has the same magnitude, but the opposite sign at B. The acceleration at points A and B has the same magnitude, but opposite direction.

Question 4

Question
The graph shows how the acceleration of an object moving in a straight line varies with time. Which graph shows the variation with time of the velocity of the object?

Question 5

Question
A ball is released from rest at time zero. After 1.0 s it bounces inelastically from a horizontal surface and rebounds, reaching the top of its first bounce after 1.5s. What is the total displacement of the ball from its original position after 1.5s?
Answer
  • A 1.25 m
  • B 3.75 m
  • C 5.00 m
  • D 6.25 m
