Choose the best answer from the given alternatives.

1. The slope of the acceleration vs, time curve represents:
A. the velocity
B. the rate of change of acceleration.
C. The rate of change of displacement.
D. The area under the position vs, time curve.
2. Two students are working on the same constant acceleration problem involving a car undergoing
constant acceleration, having started from rest and after a certain time having traveled a distance of
108m. The students are to find the average velocity. Both students are required to show their work
and round any intermediate answers as well as the final answer properly to 3 significant figures. Each
rounded answer is to be used in the next step of calculation as they proceed. For the final answer.
Student A uses the formula getting the result 7.26m/s, and Student B uses the formula getting the
result 7.29m/s. Assuming neither student makes a mistake, which student has the better answer?
A. Student A C. under significant figure rounding, both answers are equally as good.
B. Student B D. the described result cannot happen; this is

parachutist jump?
A. 914m B. 130m C. 120m D. 720m
