1. How is speed calculated?
  2. Name three possible ways speed can be measured.
  3. What is acceleration?
  4. What is acceleration measured?
  5. A train travels 5 meters in one second of travel, another 5 meters in the next second of travel, and another 5 meters in the last second of travel. What is the speed of this train? What is the acceleration of this train?
  6. A car starts from rest (0 m/s) and after 13 seconds, it’s moving 61 m/s. What’s the car’s acceleration?
  7. As an object speed up at a rate of 4 m/s/s, what is happening every second? Also, is acceleration increasing, staying the same, or decreasing during this time?
  8. A car is speeding up at a rate of 6 m/s/s.Explain how the distance traveled in each second changes during the acceleration.
  9. Suppose you take a trip that covers 400 km over the course of 6 hours. What is your average speed?
  10. Suppose a car is traveling at 20 m/s and then starts speeding up. In one second, the car increases its speed to 23 m/s, and then in the next second, it speeds up to 26 m/s. What’s the car’s acceleration?
  11. How far will a biker travel in 30 seconds, traveling 22 m/s? How far will the biker travel after one minute?
  12. A car accelerates at a rate of 4 m/s/s.If the car starts from rest, how much time is needed for the car to speed up to 20 m/s?
  13. A skateboarder accelerates at 2.5 m/s/s for 3 seconds. What would be the final speed of the skater?
  14. A car speeds up from 0 m/s at a rate of 5 m/s/s for 4 seconds. How much distance did the car travel in that distance?
  15. What does a steep, increasing line mean on position v. time graph?
  16. What does an increasing, but not-very-steep line mean on a velocity v. time graph?
  17. Sketch a position v. time graph of a biker who travels 8 meters in 6 seconds.
  18. Sketch a position v. time graph of a biker who is accelerating.
  19. Sketch a position v. time graph of a biker who is slowing down.
  20. Sketch a velocity v. time graph of a biker who is accelerating.
