Here are some questions you’ll be asked after you finish watching the videos. Please read through these before watching the videos. Multiple answers may be correct. Select the answer which best describes the way you would think about the situation.

A man throws a baseball horizontally off of the top of a building. Which of the following statements most accurately represents the relationship between the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position (in feet) and the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball?
  • As the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball increases, the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position increases.
  • As the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball increases, the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position decreases.
  • For equal changes in the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball, the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position changes by equal amounts.
  • For successive uniform changes in the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball, the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position changes by increasing amounts.
  • For successive uniform changes in the number of seconds elapsed since the man threw the baseball, the ball’s vertical distance from its initial position changes by decreasing amounts.
Imagine the bottle below being filled with water. Which of the following statements most accurately represents the relationship between the volume of water in the bottle and the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle?
  • As the volume of water in the bottle increases, the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle decreases.
  • For successive uniform changes in the volume of water in the bottle, the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle changes by increasing amounts.
  • As the volume of water in the bottle increases, the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle increases.
  • For successive uniform changes in the volume of water in the bottle, the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle changes by decreasing amounts.
  • For successive uniform changes in the volume of water in the bottle, the distance from the surface of the water to the top of the bottle changes by equal amounts.
