If an object has a velocity of -v, it means that it is

• slowing down

• speeding up

• moving in the negative direction

This the the distance and direction of an object's change in position from a starting point

• Displacement

• Distance

• Motion

• Reference point

• Velocity

Two people walk across a parking lot. Their paths are shown in the image. Who traveled a larger distance?

• Person A

What does this graph represent?

• Constant speed
• Acceleration
• Not moving
• Return to start

What is this object doing?

• speeding up
• slowing down
• not moving
