What Are the Correct Answers to These Multiple Choice Physics Questions?

In summary, the conversation discusses three multiple choice questions related to speed and acceleration. The first question is about the behavior of a falling object at its terminal speed, and the answer is determined to be D. The second question asks for the average speed of a car traveling 30 meters in 5 seconds, and the correct answer is determined to be B. The final question asks for the final speed of a stone dropped from rest and reaching the bottom of a well in 6 seconds, with the correct answer being D. The speaker expresses difficulty with the course and the unhelpful textbook.

Here are some muliple choice questions I am stuck on. Thanks in advance for help anyone can give me.

1) A falling object that has reached its terminal speed continues to gain?
a.speed
b.both speed and acceleration
c.acceleration
d.neither speed nor acceleration.
I think the answer is D because once and object reaches terminal speed nothing changes...

2)A car travels 30 meters in 5 seconds. What is its average speed?
a.6 m/s
b.25 m/s
c.35 m/s
d.150 m/s
I think the answer in B

3)It takes 6 seconds for a stone dropped from rest to hit the botom of a well. What is its final speed?
a.6 meters/second
b.30 meters/second
c.36 meters/second
d.60 meters/second.
I think the answer is D.

You got 1 and 3 right. Congratulations! :)
Check 2. How do you define average speed?

I am not sure about average speed :-/ I will look in my book again
 
  • #5
so #2 is A?
 
  • #6
yes = 30/5
 
  • #7
thanks :-D

No problem, wish they were all so straightforward.

so do I...lol I am having a hard time with this course. The book is no help with these questions..it is like they took these questions from a totally different book.
 

FAQ: What Are the Correct Answers to These Multiple Choice Physics Questions?

What are multiple choice questions?

Multiple choice questions are a type of objective assessment in which a question is followed by a list of possible answers, and the test-taker must choose the correct answer from the options provided.

What are the advantages of using multiple choice questions?

Multiple choice questions are efficient, easy to grade, and allow for a wide range of topics to be covered in a short amount of time. They also provide a level of standardization and can be used to assess a large number of individuals at once.

What are the disadvantages of using multiple choice questions?

Multiple choice questions can be prone to guessing and may not accurately measure a test-taker's understanding of a topic. They also typically do not allow for creativity or critical thinking in responses.

How can I improve my performance on multiple choice questions?

To improve performance on multiple choice questions, it is important to carefully read and understand the question, eliminate obviously incorrect answers, and use any available clues or context to select the best possible answer.

Are multiple choice questions suitable for all subjects and levels of education?

Multiple choice questions can be used in a variety of subjects and levels of education, but they may not be the most appropriate or effective assessment method for all topics. It is important for educators to carefully consider the content and learning objectives before using multiple choice questions in their assessments.
