8.6ABC - Force & Motion Review

1. Which of the following statements about speed and velocity is correct?

• Velocity only describes an object’s rate of motion.
• Speed describes how an object is changing its velocity.
• Speed and velocity both describe how an object is speeding up.
• Only velocity includes the direction an object is traveling.

2. Which of the following objects is not changing its velocity?

• A golf ball rolling down a ramp
• A skateboard rolling up a hill
• A cue ball rolling forward at a constant speed
• A marble going around the curve in a track

Acceleration describes how an object’s velocity is changing.  Which of the following scenarios provides the best example of an accelerating object?

• A car driving at a constant speed
• A book sitting on top of a high shelf
• A toy train traveling in a circle
• A toy boat floating in a bathtub

In which time interval was the speed of the object decreasing?

• between 0 s and 2 s
• between 2 s and 4 s 
• between 6 s and 8 s
• between 8 s and 10 s
