13. distance x = v t
= (1.5m/s)(300 s)
14. scalar
= 400 m
15. instantaneous position
16. displacement SECTION 4 How Fast?
17. average speed 1. t = tf − ti
2. at x = 15.0 m, tf = 6.0 s
SECTION 1 Picturing Motion at x = 5.0 m, ti = 2.0 s
1. B t = tf − ti
= 6.0 s − 2.0 s
2. B = 4.0 s
3. D
3. x = xf − xi
4. C
4. at t = 8 s, xf = 20.0 m
5. A at t = 2 s, xi = 5.0 m
x = xf − xi
SECTION 2 Where and When? = 20.0 m − 5.0 m
= 15.0 m
1. 4 m, −4 m, 5 m, 3 m, and 0 m
xf − xi
2. 1 m/s 5. v =
