Physics, Motion in One Dimension, Pre Assessment

Which of the following is a scalar quantity?

• displacement
• force
• velocity
• speed

Displacement must always be measured from

• the y-axis.
• a reference point.
• infinity
• the current position of an object.

Which of the following is not a vector quantity?

• acceleration
• displacement
• velocity
• speed

Which one of the choices does not give you displacement, velocity, or acceleration

• area under a velocity-time graph
• slope of a velocity-time graph
• slope of a position-time graph
• area under a position-time graph

You and your dog go for a walk to the park.  On the way, your dog takes many side trips to chase squirrels or examine fire hydrants.  When you arrive at the park, do you and your dog have the same displacement?

• yes
• no

What is the formula to calculate speed?

• S = t/d
• S = d/t
• S = d x t
• S = t x d
