Motion Test Review

Front

What is motion?

Back

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, typically measured in miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

How do you calculate distance?

Back

Distance can be calculated using the formula: Distance = Speed × Time.

Front

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Back

Distance is the total path traveled, while displacement is the shortest straight-line distance from the starting point to the endpoint.

Front

What is the formula for acceleration?

Back

Acceleration = (Final Velocity - Initial Velocity) / Time.

Front

If a car travels at a constant speed of 60 mph for 2 hours, how far does it travel?

Back

120 miles.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for speed?

Back

Common units for speed include miles per hour (mph) and meters per second (m/s).

Front

What does a speed-time graph represent?

Back

A speed-time graph shows how speed changes over time, with time on the x-axis and speed on the y-axis.
