Motion Review

Measurements that have magnitude and units only.

• Scalar

• Vector

_________________ is an example of a vector measurement

• Distance

• Displacement

Vectors directed up or to the right are considered

• Positive

• Negative

• Neither

In the image below, which arrow would represent to smallest vector measurement?

• Arrow A

• Arrow B

• Arrow C

• Arrow D

The change in position of an object that includes direction is the definition of

• distance

• displacement

• neither

_______________always includes direction

• Speed

• Velocity

• Neither

• Both

The correct units for measuring velocity is

• meters / second

• miles / hour

• kilometers / hour

• feet / second

• All of the above

The rate of change in velocity is the definition of

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

The slope of a position vs. time graph describes the

• Displacement of the object

• Distance of the object

• Velocity of the object

• Acceleration of the object

Which of the statements below best describes the motion of the object shown in the position vs. time graph?

• The object is not moving

• The object's position is increasing with a constant negative velocity

• The object's position is increasing with a constant positive velocity

• The object's position is decreasing with a constant negative velocity
