Questions
Question 1
*
What is the main purpose of Velocity?
Question 2
*
What does \(\mathbf r(t)\) mean in Velocity?
Question 3
*+
Identify another important piece of notation used in Velocity.
Question 4
*+
Before doing a velocity calculation, what setup information should be written down?
Question 5
**
State a central formula or test for Velocity.
Question 6
**
How is the formula or method in Velocity interpreted rather than just memorised?
Question 7
**+
For \(\mathbf r(t)=4t\mathbf i-t^2\mathbf j\) m, find \(\mathbf v(t)\).
Question 8
**+
A particle moves from \(\mathbf r_1=2\mathbf i\) m to \(\mathbf r_2=8\mathbf i\) m in \(3\) s. Find the average velocity.
Question 9
***
What method choice is usually needed in a standard velocity question?
Question 10
***
Use the notation of Velocity to explain what is being calculated or tested.
Question 11
***+
For \(\mathbf r(t)=t^2\mathbf i+3t\mathbf j\) m, find \(\mathbf v(t)\).
Question 12
***+
What physical or modelling interpretation can Velocity have?
Question 13
****
Correct this mistake in Velocity: Do not use distance travelled when calculating average velocity; use displacement.
Question 14
****
Why is it important to check assumptions when using Velocity?
Question 15
****+
Correct this second mistake in Velocity: Do not call a negative one-dimensional velocity a negative speed. Speed is non-negative.
Question 16
****+
What units, dimensions, or variable-dependence check is useful in Velocity?
Question 17
****+
Correct this third mistake in Velocity: Include direction or components when reporting velocity.
Question 18
*****
Design an exam solution plan for a multi-step velocity problem.
Question 19
*****
How could an incorrect setup affect a velocity result?
Question 20
*****
Give an exam-ready summary rule for Velocity.
