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

AI Thread Summary
The discussion revolves around multiple-choice physics questions, with participants seeking clarification on their answers. For the first question about terminal speed, the consensus is that the correct answer is D, as an object at terminal speed does not gain speed or acceleration. In the second question regarding average speed, the correct answer is A, calculated by dividing distance by time, which was initially misidentified as B. The final speed of a stone dropped from rest is confirmed to be D, at 60 meters per second. Participants express frustration with the course material, indicating it is difficult and not aligned with the questions.

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
 
so #2 is A?
 
yes = 30/5
 
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.
