Which comparison of the motorcycle's motion is correct?

At positions 1 and 4, the speeds are the same, but the velocities are different.

At positions 1 and 3, the velocities are the same, but the accelerations are different.

At positions 2 and 3, the accelerations are the same, but the velocities are different.

At positions 2 and 4, the velocities are the same, but the speeds are different.

A student investigates the motion of a toy vehicle. The student graphs 40 seconds of data from the investigation. Which statement best describes the motion of the toy vehicle during the first 30 seconds of the investigation?

The vehicle was traveling at a constant speed.

The vehicle was accelerating at a constant rate.

The speed of the vehicle was increasing.

The acceleration of the vehicle was increasing.

A meteor moving 468 km per minute traveling in a south-to-north direction passed near Earth in 2013. Because the meteor was only 45 m wide and was 27,700 km above Earth's surface, it was not visible without the aid of a telescope. Which statement describes the meteor’s motion?

Its speed was 468 km/min northward.

Its velocity was 7.8 km/s northward.

Its acceleration was 468 km/s².

Its acceleration was 7.8 km/s².

A student graphed the position of a cart during a 7-second time interval. Which statement best describes the cart?

The cart was stationary except for a short burst of acceleration of 0.5 m/s².

The cart was stationary with a velocity of 0 m/s for the entire 7 seconds.

The cart moved at a constant velocity of 0.5 m/s for the entire 7 seconds.

The cart accelerated at a constant rate of approximately 0.8 m/s².

What is the difference between the velocity and the speed of an object?

Velocity has a direction associated with it, while speed has no specific direction.

Velocity is the change in distance over time, while speed is the change in velocity over time.

Velocity has no direction associated with it, while speed has a specific direction.

Velocity is the change in speed over time, while speed is the change in distance over time.

The three vehicles shown below are all traveling at a speed of 15 m/s, but only the pickup truck has a changing velocity. The pickup truck has a changing velocity because the pickup truck —

is traveling on a curve in the road

can accelerate faster than the other two vehicles

is traveling in the opposite direction from the other two vehicles

needs a large amount of force to move
