Kinematics Practice

A place or object used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion is called a

• comparison point
• reference point
• point of view
• motion detector

The best reference points are stationary (not moving).

• true

• false

Billy runs 400 meters to Andy's house, turns around, and runs 400 meters back home. What is Billy's distance?

• 0 meters

• 400 meters

• 800 meters

• 1600 meters

Billy runs 400 meters to Andy's house, turns around, and runs 400 meters back home. What is Billy's displacement?

• 0 meters

• 400 meters

• 800 meters

• 1600 meters

Two people walk across a parking lot. Their paths are shown in the image. Who traveled with a larger displacement?

• Person A

• Person B

• They both had the same displacement.

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

• displacement

• distance

• motion

• reference point

What is the total distance, in meters, if the person traveled all the way around the rectangle?

• 3 m

• 5 m

• 13 m

• 16 m

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
