QUIZ ANSWER KEY

Acceleration
1. D

2. During the first 2.0 minutes, h = v(t) + ½ at2 where t = 120 s,


v = 0 and a = 11 m/s2.
h1= 80,640 m
After 2.0 minutes, the rocket then runs for 6.5 more minutes.
h = v(t) + ½ at2 where v = 1341 m/s, t = 6.5(60), and a = (7600 −
1341)/(6.5(60)) = 16.05 m/s2
h2 = 1.74 × 106 m
Total height = h1 + h2 = 1.8 × 106 m

Rubric:
1 pt: Student provides correct calculations.
1 pt: Student correctly determines the total height as 1.8 × 10 6 m.
3. B; E

4. The police car is recording the car’s instantaneous velocity. The average
velocity is determined by the total displacement over time, or the mean of
the instantaneous velocities. The average velocity is not accurate over a
short period of time unless the truck is moving at a constant velocity. The
average velocity will be lower because it includes the entire range of
velocities, including the slower velocities of 10 and 15 m/s. At seconds 4
and 5, the instantaneous velocity is at 25 m/s however, the average will be
much lower.

Rubric:
1 pt: Student states average velocity is less accurate due to the fact that it
includes a range of velocities.
1 pt: Students states average velocity will be lower since it includes
10 or 15 m/s.

5. A

6. The time would also double. Since the acceleration of gravity is constant,
the rate at which the ball slows is constant. If the initial speed doubles, the

ball will slow down at the same rate, so it will take the same additional
amount of time.

Rubric:
1 pt: Student states the time would also double.
1 pt: Student states the amount of time depends on the rate of change of
the velocity, which is constant for free fall.

7. D

8. C

9. With increasing acceleration, the velocity of the skydiver will increase. As


the velocity increases, the skydiver will fall a greater distance each second.
The rate that the skydiver’s velocity and displacement increases will be
exponential.
Rubric:
1 pt: Student states the velocity will increase exponentially.
1 pt: Student states the displacement will increase exponentially.
10. B
