The instantaneous speed ofan objec is defined tobe the distance i travels divided by the time it takes. distane travels multiplied by the time it takes. ‘value ofthe average specd atthe midpoint ofthe time interval average speed determined over an infinitesimally small time interval ‘The minimum speed plus one half the difference between the maximum speed and the minim speed paoee ‘The average acceleration of an object during acetin time interval it defined to be the distance it travels divided by the length ofthe time interval. the change in is speed divided by the length ofthe time itera the mean value ofthe maximum and the minimum accelerations during the time interval the change in its velocity divided by the length of the time interval [None ofthe above, Acceleration is about the rate of change of velocity. 8. An object is accelerating 2. only when its speed changes. '. only when its direction changes fits velocity is very large 44. whenever its speed or its direction changes. © even when its velocity is constant £ None ofthe above completions yields a correct statement 9. pitcher requires about 0.08 second to throw a baseball Ifthe ball leaves his hand with speed of 32 avs, what was its average acceleration during the throw? ‘Sms amie some 400m/s 00 me "None of the above i within 10% ofthe corect answer. neapse 10. child traveling 4 son a sed pases her younger brother. If her acceleration down the bil {is 3 m/s and constant, how fast is she traveling when she pases her older brother 2s later? Tmis 10ms 13m toms 2s ‘None ofthe above is within 10% ofthe corret answer. pepegePhysics117 S08 Exam I Page 4 of 15 11 nth strobe diagram below the balls moving rom let right. Which statement best describes the motion? The ball is ° ° ° © 0 00 | moving with a constant speed ._ specie wp. slowing down. not eceerating. © acceeratng, not because ofits speed, but because is direction is changing. None the above completions provides a true statement, 12. ping-pong ball anda smooth golf ball have approximately the same size but very diferent ‘masses. Which hits the ground firs f you éop them simultaneously from a great height while ‘standing onthe moon (Which has no stmospaere)?™ the Fing-pong ball, because itis lighter. the golf ball, because it is heavier. ‘They both it simultaneously ‘We te not able o predic the results because it depends upon the strength of gravity on the moon, which was not provided. [None ofthe above assertions is true, peer 13. A ping-pong ball and a smooth golf ball have approximately the same size but very different ‘masses. Which hits the ground first if you éop them simultaneously fom a great height in the exth's atmosphere? the ping-pong bal, because itis lighter and acceleration isles affected bythe drag force the gol ball, because it is heavier and its acceleration i es affected by the drag force ‘hes both hit simultaneously because there is no drag fore in the earth's atmosphere. We ze notable o predict the results because it depends upon the strength of gravity on the moon, which was not provided, None of the above assertions is true, peer 14. A bali thrown straight up into the air with a velocity of 9.8 mis. If we do no ignore air resistancs, the acceleration ofthe ball sts taveling upward has a magnitude equal io 98 mi greater than 9.8 ms? Tess han 9.8 mis paese [None ofthe above, because the acceleration depends upon the sped, 5. The motion of block siding down a fictonles ramp can be described a motion with ‘a cosstan speed, ‘corstant acceleration greater than 10 mis ‘corstant aceleation less than 10 ms ‘cozstant speed that depends on the steepness ofthe ramp. [None ofthe above, since nether the speed nor the eeeleraton is constant. ane
