You are on a vacation to Florida. If you divided the total distance you drove by the total time it took you to get there, what would you have calculated?

• velocity
• acceleration
• average speed 
• instantaneous speed

A change in position relative to a reference point is called:

• direction
• velocity
• motion
• acceleration

Which is not true about a reference point?

• it must be a stationary object
• if it is not mentioned, it is Earth
• it is used to determine if an object is in motion
• a moving car could be a reference point

What would "meters per second squared" a label for?

• speed
