Choose the correct answer. Good luck!

1. The term "uniform motion" means

1) acceleration is constant
2) displacement is constant
3) velocity is constant
4) velocity is zero
5) speed is constant

2. In a triathlon, participants swim for 750 m, bike for 30 km, and run for 5 km. If the time taken
to complete the entire course is 1.5 h, the average speed, expressed in the proper manner, is
(assume all distances are accurate to the number of digits given.)
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)

3. A stone is thrown downward from a window. Accelerating under gravity (9.8 m/s2), the stone
hits the ground 2.6 s later with a speed of 20.0 m/s. From what height above the ground was it
thrown?
1) 10 m
2) 39 m
3) 29 m
4) 19 m
5) 85 m

4. A truck is driving along the highway behind a tractor when it pulls out to pass. If the truck's
acceleration is uniform at 2.0 m/s2 for 4.0 s and it reaches a speed of 28 m/s, what was its
speed when it first pulled out to pass the tractor?
1) 24 m/s
2) 20 m/s
3) 18 m/s
4) 22 m/s
5) 26 m/s

5. A car accelerates from rest at 6.0 m/s2. How much farther will it travel during the second 3.0 s
of its motion than during the first 3.0 s?
1) 15 m
2) 81 m
3) 98 m
4) 27 m
5) 54 m

the way down?
1) 9.8 m/s2 [down]
