Week 2 Checkpoint

This document contains a checkpoint with 5 problems related to scientific notation, unit conversions, velocity, acceleration, and interpreting motion graphs. Problem 1 has students express quantities in scientific notation and use SI prefixes. Problem 2 involves converting between units of distance and time. Problem 3 calculates the distance to the sun using the velocity of light. Problem 4 finds the average acceleration of a car. Problem 5 requires labeling different motion patterns on a speed vs time graph.
