9.1 Acceleration Check Your Understanding All Questions


1.    To put it in reverse or put it in drive so it can go a different direction and change in  velocity. You can also just turn around and go the other way or slow down.

      2.    a) Acceleration: The rate at which an object changes its velocity.
           b) Deceleration: Acceleration that is opposite to the direction of motion.

      3.   It occurs when the speed of an object changes, or it’s direction of motion changes, or both. Changes in velocity can be either positive or negative. To find the velocity you have to subtract the initial by the final velocity.

      4.   Velocity = (+ 20 m/s) – (+ 0 m/s) =  + 20 m/s

      5.   They both can be the same if two objects or something goes at the same speed, but if the acceleration is greater the velocity can change faster than something have a lower acceleration.

     6.   a) Negative
           b) Zero
           c) Positive
           d) Positive
           e) Negative

     7.  a) (+ 8 m/s) – (+ 0 m/s) = + 8 m/s
          b) (+ 12 m/s) – (+ 8 m/s) = + 4 m/s
          c) (+ 12 m/s) – (+ 12 m/s) = 0 m/s
         d) (+ 15 m/s) – (+ 12 m/s) = + 3 m/s
         e) (- 9 m/s) – (+ 15 m/s) = - 24 m/s

    8. a) The speed of an object increases.
        b) The speed of an object decreases.

   9. a) (+ 25 m/s) – (- 4 m/s) = - 29 m/s
       b) The direction of the cars acceleration is negative or backwards the opposite of the direction it was travelling at the start.

10. a) He is moving forward so he has a positive acceleration, since he started at home plate and made it back there by running at a constant speed moving forward in a circle.
      b) The car is moving forward so it is positive, since it just started the race.
