The shortest path between an object's starting and ending point is its:

• Distance

• Disturbance

• Disenfranchisement

• Displacement

You calculate speed by dividing the distance moved by...?

• Time

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Vector

An object moving at -5 m/s² is doing what?

• Speeding up

• Slowing down

• Moving at the same speed

• Stopped

Which of these objects is NOT accelerating?

What is the speed of an object that travels 60 meters in 4 seconds?

• 240 m/s
• 15 m/s
• 0.067 m/s
• 15 mph

Can be measured in seconds (s)

• Distance
