Motion Quiz

What is motion?

• A change in position relative to a specific point

• The distance from starting point to ending point

• The total path covered by an object

• The speed of an object

How is distance different from displacement?

• Distance is the shortest path between two points, while displacement includes the path taken

• Distance is the total path covered, while displacement is the shortest path between two points

• Distance requires direction, while displacement does not

• Distance is the same as displacement

When calculating displacement, what must you also specify besides the magnitude?

• Speed

• Time

• Direction

• Distance

What is speed measured in?

• Kilometers

• Seconds

• Miles

• Pounds

What type of graph is typically used when graphing speed?

• Pie chart

• Bar graph

• Line graph

• Histogram

What are the SI units for speed?

• m/s (meters per second)

• kmph (kilometers per hour)

• mph (miles per hour)

• Both B and C

What is velocity?

• The speed and direction of motion

• The change in speed over time

• The distance covered per unit time

• The force applied to an object

Momentum is the product of which two quantities?

• Speed and Time

• Velocity and Mass

• Acceleration and Distance

• Force and Velocity

What does acceleration refer to?

• The speed in a given direction

• The distance covered per unit time

• The changing of velocity

• The force applied to an object

What type of motion is described as the movement around a circle?

• Linear motion

• Circular motion

• Projectile motion

• Oscillatory motion
