Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Worksheet

1. An object moving at a uniform motion is necessarily moving during the interval of time, as its instantaneous velocity at any point in time during that interval will be constant. 2. A person running at a constant velocity is not accelerating, as acceleration describes a change in velocity, and the person's velocity is not changing if it is constant. 3. The circumstances under which an object's average velocity will equal its average speed is when the object's displacement over an interval of time is in the same direction as its average velocity.

Speed, Velocity, and Acceleration Worksheet

Conceptual Questions
1. If during an interval of time, an object is going through uniform motion, is the object neces-
sarily moving? Why or why not?

2. If during an interval of time, an object is going through uniform motion, what can you say
about the object’s instantaneous velocity at any point in time during that interval?

3. A person is running at constant velocity? Is the person accelerating? Why or why not?

4. Under what circumstances will the magnitude of an object’s average velocity be equal to the
object’s average speed for that interval of time.
m
5. For any time interval, is it possible for an object to have an average velocity of 0
s
Calculation Questions

1. A camper is 16 km [E] from the campsite. From there, the camper paddles 23 km [W] in 18
mins.

(a) What is the camper’s final position with respect to the campsite
(b) What is the total displacement by the camper?
(c) What is the camper’s average velocity throughout their journey?

2. The Go-Train runs north to south corridor. The Go-Train departs from Union Station trav-
elling north 14.4 km in 18.0 min. At the point, the train stops because there is obstruction in
the tracks. It took 5.00 min before it was cleared and the train started up again. The Train
then travels 17.0 km in 32.0 min until York University. It stops at York University for 5.00
min before starting up again and travelling 7.00 km in 12.0 min.

(a) What is the train’s average speed for this entire journey?
(b) What is the train’s average velocity for this entire journey?

3. A runner runs around a perfectly circular track with a radius of 50 m in 20 s.

(a) What is the runner’s average speed


(b) If the runner were to run around the circumference of track once, how long would it take
(c) What is the runner’s average displacement if the runner completed one whole lap
