MOTION IN ONE

DIMENSION
CHAPTER TEST
 A. Answer the following questions. (3 points
each)
1)In describing motion, we need to know the reference frame or the
viewpoint of the observer of motion. If your reference frame is the
Solar System, are you moving? Explain your answer.
2)Differentiate speed and velocity.
3)Differentiate positive and negative acceleration.
4)An object has increasing velocity of 25 m/s every 2 seconds. Is the
object experiencing constant velocity or constant acceleration?
Explain your answer.
B. Interpret the following graphs. (2 points
each)
 C. Solve the following problems. Indicate
your final answer. (5 points each)
1) If a track athlete runs an 800 m race at a
constant speed of 2 m/s, how long will it take
her to win the race, in minutes?
2) Calculate the displace-
ment of a person whose 𝑣𝑡
graph is shown in the left.
 C. Solve the following problems. Indicate
your final answer. (5 points each)
3) A snowmobile has an initial velocity of 3.0 m/s
and a final velocity of 6.5 m/s. If it slows down
2
at a rate of 0.60 𝑚/𝑠 , how long will it take to
come to a complete stop?
4) An object was released from rest at a certain
height. It took the object 5 seconds to reach the
ground. From what height was it released?
