Velocity, Acceleration, and Graphing Quiz

For full credit please itemize and show your work. Circle your final answer. Include units.
Velocity:

V = D/T

1) What is the average velocity of a car that moved 60km in 3 hours?

T(hours) =
D(kilometers) =

2) How far will a car travel in 25 seconds at 12 m/s?

T(seconds) =
V(m/s) =

3) How far will a car travel in 2 hours at 20 m/hr?

T(hours) =
V(m/hr) =

4) A baseball flies off a bat at 15 m/s. How far has the ball traveled after 10 seconds?
V(m/s) =
T(seconds) =

5)A frustrated physics student throws their stopwatch at the wall. If the wall is 10 meters away and it
takes 2 seconds to get there, what is the velocity of the stopwatch?
D(meters) =
T(seconds) =
Acceleration
v = v + at

6) What is the acceleration of a car that starts at 10 m/s and crosses the finish line going 20 m/s in 5
seconds?
v (m/s) =
v (m/s) =
t (seconds) =

7) What is the acceleration of a long distance runner who starts from rest (be careful here) and finishes
at 5 m/s after 30 seconds?
v (m/s) =
v (m/s) =
t (seconds) =

8) What is the acceleration of a car coming to a stop sign that starts at 50 m/s and finishes at rest after
5 seconds? Hint: it's possible for acceleration to be negative!
v (m/s) =
v (m/s) =
t (seconds) =

9) How long would it take a wicked witch to accelerate at 10 m/s from rest to 100 m/s?
A (m/s ) =
v (m/s) =
v (m/s) =
10) A hockey puck is shot from rest and accelerates at 10 m/s for 4 seconds. What is the puck's final
velocity?
V (m/s) =
a (m/s ) =
t (seconds) =

Graphing

Use the above graph to answer questions 11 through 13

11) What kind of motion is the object having between points A and B?
a) Increasing
b) Decreasing
c) Stationary

12) True or False:

The object moves at a constant velocity from point B to point C.

13) What kind of motion is the object having between points C and D?
a) Increasing
b) Decreasing
c) Stationary
For the following graph, write a short narrative about an object that would follow such a motion.
Remember, a narrative is a short story (you should include the name of an object and describe its
motion as it moves along the points).
