6th Grade Spring ACP Review Part 1

Which of the following is an example of potential energy?

• compressed spring

• car driving along a city street

• parachute falling to the ground

• student walking to class

A cart is pushed down a store aisle.

What is the energy related to the motion of the cart?

• Potential

• Kinetic

• Nuclear

• Quantum

When the slingshot is held in position as in the diagram, what kind of energy is present?

• Kinetic

• Potential

• Electrical

• Electromagnetc

When a ball is thrown into the air, it follows a curved path.

At which point does the ball have the greatest amount of gravitational potential energy?

• W

• X

• Y

• Z

This illustration shows four vehicles. Assume that they are all traveling at the same speed on a highway.

What do you know about the kinetic energy of the vehicles?

• The motorcycle has the most kinetic energy because it is has the least mass.

• All of the vehicles have the same kinetic energy because they are moving at the same speed.

• The delivery van has the greatest kinetic energy because its mass is greater than that of the other vehicles.

• The delivery van has the greatest kinetic energy because it has the most tires in contact with the pavement.

What information does the graph give you about the speed of the metal ball over time?

• The ball travels at a constant speed.

• The speed of the ball increases over time.

• The speed of the ball decreases over time.

• The speed of the ball increases at first, and then decreases as time increases.

Which unit is used to measure distance?

• Grams

• Seconds

• Militilters

• Centimeters

An athlete is running a 5-km race at an average speed of 8 km/h. She has to stop to tie her shoe. After tying her shoe, she continues running at 8 km/h. Why would her average speed for the entire race be less than 8 km/h?

• The total distance she traveled was longer than 5 km.

• The total distance she traveled was shorter than 5 km.

• The total time she took to complete the race increased because she stopped.

• The total time she took to complete the race decreased because she stopped..

Which of the following is a definition of motion?

• a change in position over time

• the speed and direction of an object

• the length of the path between points

• a location compared to other locations

Which two measurements are needed to determine the speed of an object?

• Position and time

• Distance and time

• Position and direction

• Distance and direction
