Speed and Velocity Answers

Which statement correctly describes the differences between positive and negative acceleration?

Use the graph to determine acceleration and velocity. | Which segments show acceleration? | What is the velocity of segment B?

A runaway shopping cart speeding up as it goes down a hill is accelerating due to a change in .

The acceleration of segment D is m/s2. | Rank segments A, B, and C from least acceleration to greatest acceleration. | Least: | Greatest:

Until a train is a safe distance from the station it must travel at 5 m/s. Once the train is on open track it can speed up to 45 m/s. If it takes a train 8 seconds to reach 45 m/s, what is the acceleration of the train? (Round your answer to the nearest whole number.)

An airplane turning from south to west at constant speed is accelerating due to a change in .

Use the graph to determine acceleration and velocity. | Which segments show acceleration? | What is the velocity of segment B?

The acceleration of segment D is m/s2.

An airplane traveling 245 m/s east experienced turbulence, so the pilot decided to slow down to 230 m/s. It took the pilot 7 seconds to get down to this speed. What is the acceleration of the plane? (Round your answer to the nearest integer.)

A cyclist going downhill is accelerating at 1.2 m/s2. If the final velocity of the cyclist is 16 m/s after 10 seconds, what is the cyclist’s initial velocity?

What is the acceleration of the car at segment C?

A biker going 7 m/s west after travelling north at 5 m/s is accelerating due to a change in .
