Name: 

A car moving around a corner at 25 miles per hour has a constant velocity. _________________________

An airplane moving at 200 kilometers per hour west and a plane moving at 200 miles per hour east have the same velocity. _________________________

The distance an object travels divided by the time to travel that distance is called:

During the Kentucky Derby, a race horse covering the same distance on the race track for each second it runs is traveling with constant:

The quantity that measures the change in position with time in a certain direction is:

In the phrase “meters per second”, the word per can mean all of the following EXCEPT:

All of the following are units for speed EXCEPT:

The relationship that allows you to solve for average speed is:

To solve for the distance an object travels, the formula that should be used is distance =

A relationship that can be used to solve for the time it takes for a bird to fly between two trees is:

Tanya coasts down the street on her bicycle at a constant speed of 15 meters per second for 20 seconds. The distance she travels is:

A supersonic airplane flow 5,800 kilometers from Paris, France to New York City at 3,600 kilometers per hour. The time needed to make the trip was about:

A cheetah, one of the fastest animals on Earth, travels 80 meters in 3.0 seconds. The average speed of the cheetah is about:

Two cars are moving with the same speed. The velocity of both cars will be the same if the cars are moving in:

A car going in a circle can not have constant velocity because:

Tom, a cyclist, rides his bicycle for an hour at 40 km/hr. For the next three hours he rides at 20 km/hr. During the last two hours of his ride he travels at 22 km/hr. Tom’s average speed for his ride is about:

A race car traveling the same distance each second would be described as traveling at ____________________ speed.

____________________ is calculated by dividing distance by time.

The word meaning “for every”, “for each” or “divided by” in statements of speed or velocity is ____________________.

The ____________________ of an object must be described by both the direction and the speed of the object.

From a stop sign, Charise accelerates to a speed of 60 km/hr.



She travels 4 miles in 6 minutes before slowing to a stop at a traffic light. The speed calculated by dividing the distance Charise travels by the time needed to travel all four miles is called the ____________________ speed.

Write the equation that can be used for calculating the average speed of a moving object.
Use v to represent speed, d to represent distance and t to represent time.

Name 3 units for indicating speed.

Explain the difference between speed and velocity. In the explanation, use the words distance, time and direction.

Explain why a car going around a curve at a constant speed of 35 mph does not have a constant velocity.

An airplane flies 650 kilometers east, turns and flies 250 kilometers west. Calculate the position of the airplane compared to its point of origin. State both a distance and direction in your answer.

Calculate the distance covered by a Canadian goose flying for 6 hours at 45 miles per hour. Show your work, including an equation, substitution in the equation with units, and an answer labeled with units.

When the starter’s gun is fired, a sprinter takes 49.0 seconds to run 400 meters. Calculate the average speed of the runner. For full credit, you must write a proper equation, substitute in the equation with units, and give an answer with units.
