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

How long did it take this object to travel 10 m?

• 0 s

• 10 s

• 15 s

• 20 s

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.

• The object is slowing down.

• The object is staying still.
