1 XRISS oncepual Quesions. The number of decimal places in a measuremen along wih he uni is an indicaor of he precision of an insrumen. escribe wha kind of insrumens can be used o produce measuremens of m,. m,. m,. m, and. m.. Having measured an objec and found i o be. m, you hen spli i ino hree equal pieces and quoe he value m as he lengh of one of hese pieces. This is wha your calculaor produces when you divide. by 3. Is his value reasonable? Wha is i implying? 9. o all he people on he roor ride (Fig..6) have he same velociies and speeds a any given ime? xplain. Fig..6 see suden ex. 3. Using dollars and cens as he unis for any numbers you wish o use, explain why keeping your unis consisen is imporan when adding and subracing quaniies. 4. Name hree oher scalar and vecor quaniies besides he ones menioned in his chaper. 5. esign an odomeer and a speedomeer ha can be used o measure vecor quaniies. Remember, we now have access o saellie mapping sysems. 6. Sae hree examples where he displacemen is equal in magniude o he disance ravelled bu no equal o he acual disance ravelled. 7. Using examples, explain why wo vecors of equal magniude are no necessarily equal. 8. You have bough a Ferrari. On your rip, you had an average speed of 8 km/h, ye an average velociy of km/h (magniude only). How is his possible?. Skech a d! - represenaion of a ypical m dash. Remember ha spriners do no increase heir speed for he full m. In many cases, hey slow down near he end.. Skech a d! - graph for he 4 m run. Why is i differen from he m skech? How can hese graphs be used o help improve performance for an ahlee?. Look a he d! - graph in Fig..7. xplain which pars of he graph you would use o find he average speed, he average velociy, and he insananeous velociy. Fig..7 Posiion Time 3 uni a: Moion and Forces

For a ime of 5 s, sae he value using each prefix. Use boh decimal and scienific noaion. a) micro b) milli c) kilo d) mega 7. onver he following speeds. Show all unis as well as cancellaions. a) 5 km/h o m/s b) 5 km/h o m/s c). m/s o km/h d) 5 m/s o km/h 8. a) n average person is 75 cm all. How many people could you sack one on op of anoher o reach he op of he N Tower (553 m)? b) If inch.54 cm and inches foo, how all is he N Tower in fee? 9. a) The maximum speed reached by a sanding skae boarder is abou 4.7 m/s. Would he skaeboarder ge a icke in a 3 km/h speed zone? b) snail crawls imes slower han a normal human walk (3 km/h). How many imes slower han he skae boarder is he snail?. For he roller coaser in Fig..8, esimae he displacemen and disance ravelled for he following secions: a) o b) o c) o d) o e) o Fig..8. Four people se ou o measure a field s perimeer. They find ha Side. m, Side m, Side.5 m, and Side m. Taking ino accoun significan digis, a) wha is he perimeer, in meres and in millimeres? b) wha is he sum of? see suden ex. chaper : Posiion-Time Graphs 3

Wha is he difference in heighs for he following measuremens? a) 5.7 m and 3. m b) 5.7 m and m c) cm and m d) 3.9 km and 3.9 mm.3 The Meaning of Negaives in Kinemaics 5. person is walking 3 km/h in a rain ha is moving 7 km/h wes. In he sandard reference sysem, wha are he person s wo possible velociies as measured by a cop using a radar gun parked on he side of he road?.4 Three Seps o Graphical nalysis 6. opy he graphs in Fig..3 ino your noebook and draw a line of bes fi for each.
