KINEMATICS QUIZ

Question 1 of 5

1

A long-distance runner wishes to calculate her average speed for a race.
Which calculation should she use?

Select one of the following:

average speed = total distance / total time
average speed = total distance × total time
average speed = total time / total distance
average speed = total distance + total time

Explanation

Question 2 of 5

1

A heavy metal ball falls vertically downwards through air past four equally spaced levels J, K, L and M.

Select one of the following:

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

Explanation

Question 3 of 5

1

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?

Select one of the following:

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.

A
B
C
D

Explanation

Question 5 of 5

1

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?

Select one of the following:

A 1.25 m
B 3.75 m
C 5.00 m
D 6.25 m
