- Q1A strobe photograph shows equally spaced images of a car moving along a straight road. If the time intervals between images is constant, which of the following CANNOT be positive?The acceleration of the carThe direction of motion of the carThe speed of the carThe average velocity of the car120s
- Q2In one-dimensional motion, the average speed of an object that moves from one place to another and then back to its original place has which of the following properties?It is zeroIt can be positive, negative, or zeroIt is positiveIt is negative120s
- Q3In the case of constant acceleration, the average velocity equals the instantaneous velocity:At the beginning of the time intervalAt the end of the time intervalThree fourths of the way through the time intervalHalfway through the time interval30s
