Speed, Distance, Displacement

 Jermaine runs exactly 2 laps around a 400 meter track. What is the displacement?

• 800
• 400
• 0
• 200

Which is the length of the path an object has traveled?

• displacement

• distance

• motion

• reference point

10 miles per hour is an example of an objects what?

• Velocity
• Speed
• Acceleration
• Inertia

Speed is equal to 

• Distance/Time
• Time/Distance
• Time x Distance
• Acceleration

The scientific (SI) unit for measuring distance is the ________ .

• meter

A runner races in the 100 meter dash.  It takes her 10 seconds to finish.  What is her average speed?

• 10 m/s
• 1000 m/s
• 100 seconds
• 10 seconds

What is a difference between distance and displacement

• Distance is measured in seconds and displacement is measured in meters

• Distance is always shorter than displacement

• Displacement can be equal to zero if the object ends in the place it began in

• Distance can be equal to infinite when only a small distance has been travelled

How far an object has moved?

• displacement
• distance
• motion
• reference point
