Match the units to the quantities they are used to measure.
Which of these equations shows how distance travelled can be calculated from average speed and time?
Starting with the slowest, sort these objects in order of speed.
A student measures how long a trolley takes to fall a distance of 1.5 m three separate times. Their readings are 2.5 s , 2.1 s, and 2.0 s. Calculate the average roll time.
A trolley was allowed to roll along a series of tracks of different steepness giving different average speeds. Starting with the slowest, sort the results in order of increasing average speed.
A toy car rolls through a distance of 3.2 m in a time of 1.6 s. Calculate the average speed of the trolley giving the correct unit.

Select the reading that has a large timing error in this set of timing data.
Five different trolleys are rolled along a 3.0 m track. Their times are shown. Starting with the fastest, put them into order of speed.
Which of these will help to reduce timing errors in a trolley rolling experiment?
Due to a timing error a student measures a time that is longer than the true time. How will this affect the speed they calculate for a rolling trolley?
Suggest which of the following items would be the most accurate way of measuring the time taken for a ball to be thrown across the lab?
