1.
A: Reference Point - a point against which position is measured. B: Vector Quantity - a physical measurement that contains directional information. C: Scalar Quantity - a physical measurement that does not contain directional information. D: Acceleration - the time rate of change of an objects velocity. E: Free Fall - the motion of an object when it is falling solely under the influence of gravity.
2. No. Motion depends on the reference point that is used.
3. That depends on the reference point that is used. The glass is not moving relative to the counter.
4.
A: The girl joggers.
B: Child in inner tube.
C: The first girl jogging.
5. 30 Min. x 1 Hr. = 0.5 60 min.
10 Miles = 20 Miles/Hr. 0.5 Hours
6. 6 Kilometers x 1000 Meters = 6000 Meters 1 Kilometer
45 Min. x 60 Seconds = 2700 Seconds 1 Min
6000 Meters = 2.22 Meters 2700 Seconds Second
7.
A: 10 meters scalar quantity, distance.
B: 1.2 meters/second² east.
C: 3.4 feet/hour and slowing scalar, speed.
D: 56 liters, scalar, none of these.
E: 2.2 miles/min east, vector, velocity.
F: 2.2 milometer’s/year, scalar, speed.
8. Relative speed = 57 Miles - 45 Miles = 12 Miles Hour Hour Hour
12 Miles/Hour toward each other.
9. Since velocity is constant, there is no acceleration.
10. 12 Meters Per Second = 6 Meters per second² west. 2 Seconds
11. 30 Miles Hour
12 Min. x 1 Hour = 0.2 Hours. 60 Min.
