12. What is the acceleration of a car that maintains a
constant velocity of 100 km/h for 10 s? (Why do
some of your classmates who correctly answer the
previous question get this question wrong?)
13. When are you most aware of motion in a moving
vehicle-when it is moving steadily in a straight line
or when it is accelerating? If a car moved with
absolutely constant velocity (no bumps at all), would
you be aware of motion?
Summary of Formulas
distance
Speed
=
time
total distance covered
Average speed =
time interval
change of velocity
time interval
Acceleration
change in speed
14. Acceleration is generally defined as the time rate of
change of velocity. When can it be defined as the
time rate of change of speed?
Acceleration (along a straight line) =
time interval
Velocity acquired in free fall, from rest; v = gt
Distance fallen in free fall, from rest; d = 1/2 gr
Acceleration on Galileo's Inclined Planes
15. What did Galileo discover about the amount of
Review Questions
speed a ball gained each second when rolling down
an inclined plane? What did this say about the ball's
acceleration?
Motion Is Relative
1. As you read this, how fast are you moving relative to
the chair you are sitting on? Relative to the Sun?
16. What relationship did Galileo discover for the veloc-
ity acquired on an incline?
17. What relationship did Galileo discover about a
ball's acceleration and the steepness of an incline?
What acceleration occurs when the plane is
vertical?
Speed
2. What two units of measurement are necessary for
describing speed?
Instantaneous Speed
Free Fall
3. What kind of speed is registered by an automobile
speedometer-average speed or instantaneous speed? How Fast
18. What exactly is meant by a "freely falling" object?
Average Speed
4. Distinguish between instantaneous speed and aver-
age speed.
5. What is the average speed in kilometers per hour for
a horse that gallops a distance of 15 km in a time of
30 min?
19. What is the gain in speed per second for a freely
falling object?
20. What is the velocity acquired by a freely falling object
5 s after being dropped from a rest position? What is
the velocity 6 s after?
6. How far does a horse travel if it gallops at an average 21. The acceleration of free fall is about 10 m/s. why
speed of 25 km/h for 30 min?
does the seconds unit appear twice?
22. When an object is thrown upward, how much speed
does it lose each second?
Velocity
7. Distinguish between speed and velocity.
How Far
Constant Velocity
8. If a car moves with a constant velocity, does it also
move with a constant speed?
23. What relationship between distance traveled and
time did Galileo discover for accelerating objects?
24. What is the distance fallen for a freely falling object
1 s after being dropped from a rest position? What is
it 4 s after?
Changing Velocity
9. If a car is moving at 90 km/h and it rounds a corner,
also at 90 km/h, does it maintain a constant speed?
A constant velocity? Defend your answer.
25. What is the effect of air resistance on the accelera-
tion of falling objects? What is the acceleration with
no air resistance?
Acceleration
10. Distinguish between velocity and acceleration.
11. What is the acceleration of a car that increases its
velocity from 0 to 100 km/h in 10 s?
How Quickly "How Fast" Changes
26. Consider these measurements: 10 m, 10 m/s, and
10 m/s. Which is a measure of distance, which of
speed, and which of acceleration?
