MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
20 sec • 1 pt
Calculate the average speed of a car that travels 200 miles in 4 hours.
25 miles per hour
100 miles per hour
10 miles per hour
50 miles per hour
Answer explanation
To calculate average speed, divide total distance by total time. In this case, 200 miles / 4 hours = 50 miles per hour. Therefore, the correct answer is 50 miles per hour.

A car accelerates from rest at a rate of 2 m/s^2. How far does it travel in 10 seconds?
5 m
200 m
100 m
50 m
Answer explanation
The distance traveled can be calculated using the formula: distance = 0.5 * acceleration * time^2. Plugging in the values, distance = 0.5 * 2 * 10^2 = 100 m. Therefore, the correct answer is 100 m.

An object is moving with a constant velocity of 20 m/s. What is its displacement after 5 seconds?
50 m
200 m
100 m
10 m
Answer explanation
The displacement of an object moving with constant velocity is calculated by multiplying the velocity by time. In this case, 20 m/s * 5 s = 100 m. Therefore, the displacement after 5 seconds is 100 meters.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION
20 sec • 1 pt
A car is initially traveling at 10 m/s and accelerates at a rate of 3 m/s^2 for 5 seconds. What is its final velocity?
5 m/s
25 m/s
30 m/s
15 m/s
Answer explanation
The final velocity can be calculated using the formula: final velocity = initial velocity + (acceleration * time). Therefore, final velocity = 10 m/s + (3 m/s^2 * 5 s) = 25 m/s. Hence, the correct answer is 25 m/s.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUESTION

A train decelerates from 30 m/s to 10 m/s in 5 seconds. Calculate its acceleration.
5 m/s^2
10 m/s^2
0 m/s^2
-4 m/s^2
Answer explanation
The acceleration can be calculated using the formula: acceleration = (final velocity - initial velocity) / time. Substituting the values, we get acceleration = (10 m/s - 30 m/s) / 5 s = -4 m/s^2. Therefore, the correct answer is -4 m/s^2.

A cyclist travels 15 km at an average speed of 20 km/h. How long does the journey take?
2 hours
5 hours
10 minutes
0.75 hours
Answer explanation
The journey takes 0.75 hours because time = distance / speed = 15 km / 20 km/h = 0.75 hours.
