Motion and Speed Quiz

What is a good definition of motion?

• The speed at which an object travels from one point to another.

• The distance an object travels in a specific amount of time.

• When the distance from one object to another is changing.

• The degree or amount of separation between two points.

What is a reference point?

• The speed of an object.

• A place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.

• The time during which an action occurs.

• The amount of separation between two objects.

How is speed defined ?

• When you know both an object's speed and direction.

• The distance an object travels in a specific amount of time.

• The degree or amount of separation between two points.

• The measured period during which an action exists.

What does velocity require knowledge of?

• The distance an object has traveled.

• The time during which an object is in motion.

• Both an object's speed and direction.

• The comparison between two points.

What is the purpose of a distance vs time graph?

• To show how an object's speed changes with time.

• To show the speed of an object at a specific time.

• To show how far an object has gone changes with time.

• To show the direction of an object's motion.

What does a speed vs time graph indicate?

• The direction in which an object is moving.

• The distance an object has covered over time.

• How an object's speed changes with time.

• The reference point for an object's motion.

What is a simple definition of time?

• How far an object moves.

• A way the people keep track of change.

• The direction an object travels.

• From point a to point b.

What is a good definition of distance?

• The amount of space between 2 points.

• A way to keep track of change.

• How fast something is moving.

• The direction an object is moving.
