Scientific Method and Motion

What does the s in the equation s = d/t stand for?

• speed

• velocity

• special circumstance

• distance

What does the d in the equation s = d/t stand for?

• direction

• differential

• distance

• difference

What does the t in the equation s = d/t stand for?

• turn

• tick

• temperature

• time

The slope a position-time graph gives you the

• velocity

• speed

• total speed

• time

Average speed can be found by dividing the total distance by the

• constant speed

• total time

• acceleration

• displacement

Motion is a change in

• velocity

• time

• position

• speed

Instantaneous speed can be found by reading which instrument?

• speedometer

• thermometer

• odometer

• barometer

This is the first step you take when you design an experiment.

• state the hypothesis

• write a procedure

• state the problem

• analyze the data

This variable is plotted on the x-axis

• independent variable

• dependent variable

• constant

• control

The thing that does not change in an experiment is called the

• control

• constant

• dependent variable

• independent variable
