Motion Quiz

The total length of the path of a moving object.

• distance

• speed

• displacement

• acceleration

The distance between a moving object's final position and its starting position.

• speed

• reference point

• velocity

• displacement

The distance an object moves divided by the time it took to move that distance is known as

• distance

• speed

• velocity

• acceleration

How is velocity different from speed?

• it includes the displacement of the object

• it includes the direction of the object

• it includes the distance of the object

• it includes the acceleration of the object

What is velocity?

• speed and acceleration

• constant speed

• a frame of reference

• speed in a given direction

Does the speedometer of a car read average speed or instantaneous speed?

• average speed
• instantaneous speed

The diagram shows the distance-time graph of an object. Which statement describes the object?

• It is accelerating.

• It is moving at a constant speed.

• It is slowing down.

• It is stationary.

What is a reference point?

• a number line that is used to determine direction

• an app that allows you to look up things easily

• a place or object used for comparison to determine an object's motion

• the distance an object moves in one second

This occurs when an object speeds up, slows down, or changes direction.

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

Describe the motion in the graph:

• Constant Speed (positive slope)

• Stopped (at rest)

• Acceleration (increasing speed)

• Return Home (negative slope)
