Physics Quiz by Aleczander P, Josiah H and Xavier M

What is acceleration?

• Speed

• Change in direction

• Change in velocity

• Distance traveled

Which of the following units is used to measure acceleration?

• Meters per second

• Meters per second squared

• Meters per second per hour

• Meters per second per minute

When an object is accelerating, it can be:

• Moving at a constant speed

• Changing its speed

• Stopped

• Not Moving

If a car is accelerating, which of the following is happening?

• The car is always moving at its maximum speed

• The car is slowing down

• The car is changing its speed

• The car is not moving

Which of the following represents positive acceleration?

• Speeding up

• Slowing down

• Moving at a constant speed

• Stopped

If an object is moving in a straight line and its velocity is increasing, what is happening to its acceleration?

• It is increasing

• It is decreasing

• It is a constant

• It is zero

Which of these is NOT an example of acceleration?

• A car turning a corner

• A bike moving at a steady speed

• A rocket taking off

• A ball rolling down a hill

What is the formula for calculating acceleration?

• Speed / Time

• Distance / Time

• Velocity / Distance

• Change in Velocity / Time

A train starts from rest and reaches a speed of 60 km/h in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?

• 6 km/h

• 60 km/h/s

• 10 km/h/s

• 600 km/h/s

If an object has a negative acceleration, it means it is:

• Speeding up

• Slowing down

• Moving at a constant speed

• Not Moving
