Forces

Speed equals distance divided by

• time

• velocity

• size

• motion

Average speed is

• equivalent to velocity.

• the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant.

• the rate at which a slope changes.

• the total distance traveled by the total time.

What does the speed of an object tell you about that object's motion?

• How far the object travels to come to a stop

• How much time the object takes to move faster

• How far the object moves in a certain amount of time

• How much the object slows down in a certain amount of time

Speed in a given direction is called

• velocity

• distance

• average speed

• instantaneous speed

Which of these is an example of negative acceleration?

• a bird taking off for flight

• a roller coaster moving down a steep hill

• a car approaching a red light

• an airplane following a straight flight path

On a distance-time graph, a horizontal line represents an object that is

• moving at a constant speed

• increasing its speed

• decreasing its speed

• not moving at all

In physical science, a push or pull is called a(n)

• motion

• inertia

• acceleration

• force
