Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 8.36 Average Speed, Velocity and Acceleration skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A cart moves 30 cm in 200 ms. Which setup correctly finds speed in m/s?

A(30 m) / (200 s)

B(0.30 m) / (200 s)

C(0.30 m) / (0.200 s)

D(30 cm) / (0.200 s)

Solution & Explanation:To get m/s, convert 30 cm to 0.30 m and 200 ms to 0.200 s, then divide distance by time.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

What is the magnitude of the average acceleration?,A. 2.0 m/s² | B. 0.67 m/s² | C. 3.0 m/s² | D. 6.0 m/s²,A,Average acceleration magnitude is change in speed divided by time: (8 − 2)/3.0 = 2.0 m/s².,NO,,,,,online_practice_skill_page,practice,grade 8 science average speed

Solution & Explanation:velocity and acceleration review | PS.8.36 practice | grade 8 science physical science: forces

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

What is the average velocity in m/s?

A0.00 m/s

B6.40 m/s

C4.80 m/s

D48.00 m/s

Solution & Explanation:Convert 150 ms to seconds: 0.150 s. Displacement = 0.72 m. v_avg = 0.72/0.150 = 4.80 m/s.
