__ is the geometry, pattern, or form of motion with respect to time
Kinematics
A true statement about the metric system is that it is based on the most common international unit of length, the __
meter or metre
A basketball player takes 15 seconds to dribble the ball from the opponent’s side to his team’s side, 24 meters away. Calculate her average velocity.
1.6 m/s
T/F: Along with the length of the line between 2 positions, the direction in which displacement occurs is equally important
True
What is defined as the distance covered by the time taken to cover it?
Speed
What is the change in displacement that occurs during a given period of time?
Linear velocity
A rubber completes 3 laps around a 200 m track and returns to the starting point. The runner’s displacement is __
0 m
What are the 2 most common units for speed and velocity in the metric systems?
1.) meters per second (m/s)
2.) kilometers per hour (km/hr)
A swimmer orients herself perpendicular to the parallel banks of a river. Given that the swimmer’s resultant velocity is 5 m/s and the velocity of the current is 2 m/s, calculate how far the swimmer will actually have to swim to get to the other side of the bank if the banks of the river are 16 m apart.
17.26 m
What is the mathematical representation of linear acceleration?
change of time
What is the mathematical representation of linear acceleration?
change of time
What is a common unit of acceleration in the metric system?
m/s^2
A basketball begins rolling off the court with an initial velocity of 5 m/s. If the ball has a constant acceleration of 0.5 m/s^2, how long will the ball take to stop?
10 s
What is measured at the moment of release of a javelin by a javelin thrower?
Instantaneous velocity
What is measured after an athletes completes a marathon?
Average velocity
