IPC 2023 Final Exam

a change in place or position with respect to a fixed point

• locomotion

• rotation

• commotion

• motion

The distance and direction of an object's change in position from a starting point

• displacement

• distance

• motion

• reference point

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

• 800

• 400

• 200

• 0

A place or object (like a stop sign or mailbox) used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion is called a

• comparison point

• point of view

• reference point

• motion detector

This graph demonstrates an object that is -

• Increasing speed
• At a constant speed
• Decreasing speed
• Stationary

Which scenario best matches the graph shown below?

• A boy rides his bike 3 km in 20 minutes. The boy then returns home in only 10 minutes to get his homework. He then travels 6 km in only 30 minutes.

• A student travels 6 km in 20 minutes to a friend’s house. The two students then travel 4 km together over the next 30 minutes.

• A student travels 2 km in 30 minutes. The student then travels another 2 km in only 10 minutes. After that, the student rests.

What is the speed at 20 minutes?

• 6.67 km/min

• 0.15 km/min

• 60 km/min

• 3 km/min

Which runner started out the fastest?

• Albert
• Bob
• Charlie

The picture of the position vs. time graph shows an object that is...

• accelerating/speeding up

• moving at a constant speed 

• not moving 

• accelerating/slowing down. 

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
