A roller coaster is moving 25 m/s at the bottom of a hill. Three seconds later it reaches the top of the hill moving at 10 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster?
8 m/s/s
A roller coaster's velocity at the top of a hill is 10 m/s. Two seconds later it reaches the bottom of the hill with a velocity of 26 m/s. What was the acceleration of the coaster?
.83 m/s/s
A train moves from rest to a speed of 25 m/s in 30 seconds. What is its acceleration?
48 km/hr
A train travels 120 km in 2 hours and 30 min. What is the average speed?
Newton's first law of motion
An object at rest stays at rest unless acted upon by an unbalanced force. An object in motion stays in motion unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
Newton's second law of motion
F=ma
Newton's third law of motion
For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction
.706 m/s/s
If a train going 60 m/s hits the brakes, and it takes the train 1 minute 25 seconds to stop, what is the train's acceleration?
20 m/s/s
Joyce kicked a 2 kg soccer ball with a force of 40 N. What was the acceleration of the soccer ball?
10

8.3 m/s
Pete is driving down 7th street. He drive 150 meters in 18 seconds. Assuming he does not speed up or slow down, what is his speed in meters per second?
average speed
The total distance traveled divided by the time it took to cover that distance
9.8 m/s/s
What is the approximate acceleration due to gravity on earth?
unbalanced force
What type of force results in a change in acceleration?
balanced force
What type of force results in no acceleration. (constant speed)?
acceleration
the change in velocity over time
velocity
the speed and direction of a moving object
inertia
the tendency of objects to resist a change in motion
triple beam balance
the tool used to measure mass
spring scale
