Physics: Kinematic Variables II Quiz

Slightly more difficult interpretation and application of the kinematic variables.

  1. Acceleration is defined as change in velocity, divided by change in time. If the starting velocity is 10m/s, and 3 seconds later it is still 10m/s, is there any net acceleration?

  6. I travel north for 4 miles and east for 2 miles. What is my displacement from my origin? (Remember the Pythagorean theorem)

    Question Answer Choices
  7. True or False: our units of measurement, such as seconds and meters, are based on universal constants rather than arbitrary human conventions.
