Physics Quiz Review Acceleration, Velocity, Position

Scott travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is his DISTANCE?

• 10 mi

• 7 mi

• 8 mi

• 6 mi

Distance and direction of an object's change in position from a starting point (HINT: Direct path from starting point to end point)

• displacement

• distance

• motion

• reference point

Jasmine runs exactly 3 laps around a 400 meter track. What is the DISPLACEMENT?

• 800 m

• 400 m

• 0 m

• 1200 m

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

Acceleration is defined as the CHANGE in 

• time of motion to another place. 
• velocity 
• distance 
• speed

What two measurements are necessary for calculating speed?

• Mass and time
• Temperature and mass
• Mass and distance
• Distance and time

At 60 seconds, how far had this object traveled? 

• 0 m
• 10 m
• 20 m
• 40 m

What is happening in this graph from point B to C?

• The object is going down a hill.
• The object is returning to its starting location.
