Motion/Forces

The distance traveled divided by the time taken to travel the distance.

• speed

• velocity

• displacement

What does displacement includes?

• The distance between the starting and ending points and the direction in which you travel.

• The distance between the starting and ending points.

• The direction in which you travel.

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

• Distance is how far you have traveled Displacement is the direction and difference in position between your starting and ending points.

• Distance is the direction traveled and displacement is the how far you traveled.

• Both are related to motion.

Determining whether something changes position requires a point of reference.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

To describe your final position exactly, you do not have to tell the direction from your starting point.

• True

• False

• Sometimes

Speed can be calculated using this equation

• speed = distance/time

• distance = speed/time

In SI units, distance is measured in

• Meters

• Grams

What is the SI units for time?

• Seconds

• Meters

Is found by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken.

• Instantaneous speed

• Average speed

An object in motion can change speeds many times as it speeds up or slows down.

• False

• True
