A ball is thrown straight up. It reaches its highest point and then falls back. Which of the following is the correct statement? a.Throughout its motion, the ball's velocity is zero. b.At the highest point in its motion, the ball's acceleration is zero .c.At the highest point in its motion, the ball's velocity is zero. d.Throughout its motion, the ball's acceleration is zero .e.At the highest point in its motion, the ball's velocity and acceleration are zero.

At the highest point in its motion, the ball's velocity is zero.

Which of the following statements about velocity and/or speed are TRUE? .There is no difference, they are both vectors ii.Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity .iii.The phrase "30 mi/hr, west" likely refers to a scalarquantity. iv.There is no difference, they are both scalars

Velocity is a vector quantity and speed is a scalar quantity

A ball rolls in a straight line along the horizontal direction. Using motion diagram (multiflash photo graphs) describe the velocity and acceleration of the ball for each of the following situations: a.The ball moves to the right at a constant speed b.The ball moves to the right at a higher constant speed then at zero meters it is slowing down at a constant rate and after 3 meter mark it move with a low constant speed. c.The ball moves from right to left and continually slows down. d.The ball moves from right to left and continually speeds up. e.The picture is not clear.

a.The ball moves to the right at a constant speed

Velocity is

a.a vector quantity

Using a pedometer, you walk 3000 steps in 20 minutes, so your speed is 150 steps/min. Each of your steps is 0.7 m long. What is your speed? 1 hour is 3600 seconds, 1 minute is 60 seconds Speed = 150 steps/min1 step = 0.7 m150 steps = 150 x 0.7 = 105 metersSpeed = 105 meters/min a.155steps per min b.7.5miles per hour c.214metersper min d.105metersper min e.2.5metersper second

d.105metersper min
