1. Which of the following is acceleration?

a. 10 m/s b. 46 km/h c. 50 cm2/s2 d.64 km/h/min

2. Acceleration is negative if speed is

a. constant c. increasing
b. decreasing d. neither increasing nor decreasing

3. The distance in meters traveled by a particle is related to time (t) in seconds

by the equation of motion -S = 10 t +4 t2. What is the initial velocity of the
body?
a. 4 m/s b. 6 m/s c. 10 m/s d. 10 m/s2

4. The particle moves on the x-axis. When its acceleration is positive and
increasing:
a. its velocity must be positive
b. its velocity must be negative
c. it must be slowing down
d. it must be speeding up
e. none of the above must be true

5. Which of the following is correct when the distance of an object covered is

directly proportional to time?
a. constant acceleration c. uniform acceleration
b. constant speed d. zero velocity
6. An object moving in the +x direction experiences an acceleration of +2.0
m/s2. This means the object
a. travels 2.0 m in every second.
b. is traveling at 2.0 m/s.
c. is decreasing its velocity by 2.0 m/s every second.
d. is increasing its velocity by 2.0 m/s every second.

7. A racing car accelerates uniformly from rest along a straight track. This
track has markers spaced at equal distances along it from the start, as shown
in the figure. The car reaches a speed of 140 km/h as it passes marker 2.
Where on the track was the car when it was traveling at half this speed, that is
at 70 km/h?

a. before marker 1
b. At marker 1
c. Between marker 1 and marker 2
d. at marker 2

8. From the equations of distance, the correct one is

a. Vf = Vi + 2as c. Vf2 = Vi2 + 2a
b. Vf2 = Vi2 + as d. Vf2 = Vi2 + 2as

9. Correct equation of distance is

a. Vi = Vf + at c. Vf = Vi + t
b. Vf = Vi + at d. Vf = Vi + a
10. Jackson travels 2 km north, then 3 km east, and finally 2 km south. Which
statement is true?

b. Jackson is now 3 km east from where he started.
c. Jackson’s displacement is 7 km.
d. None of the above.

11. You drive 6.0 km at 50 km/h and then another 6.0 km at 90 km/h. Your
average speed over the 12 km drive will be
a. greater than 70 km/h.
b. equal to 70 km/h.
c. less than 70 km/h.
d. exactly 38 km/h.

12. Which of the following situations is impossible?

a. An object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed west.
b. An object has velocity directed east and acceleration directed east.
c. An object has zero velocity but non-zero acceleration.
d. An object has constant non-zero acceleration and changing velocity.

13. If the acceleration of an object is zero, then that object cannot be moving.
a. either true or false c. neither true nor false
b. False d. true

14. If the velocity of an object is zero, then that object cannot be accelerating.
a. either true or false c. neither true nor false
b. False d. true
15. An object moving in the +x direction experiences an acceleration of +5.0
m/s2. This means the object
a. travels 5.0 m in every second.
b. is traveling at 5.0 m/s.
c. is decreasing its velocity by 5.0 m/s every second.
d. is increasing its velocity by 5.0 m/s every second.
