What term describes acceleration toward the center of a curved path?

• Uniform acceleration

• Centripetal acceleration

• Projectile motion

• Displacement

Which of the following best represents a scenario where an object’s displacement equals its distance?

• Running around a circular track

• Walking from home to school in a straight line

• Driving from one point and back to the same point

• Traveling in a zigzag pattern

Describe the difference between velocity and speed.

• Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time, while velocity includes both speed and the direction of motion.

• Speed includes direction, while velocity does not.

• Speed is a vector quantity, while velocity is scalar.

• Speed is always greater than velocity.

A car has an acceleration of 0 m/s². What does this tell you about its motion?

• The car is speeding up.

• The car is slowing down.

• The car is either moving at a constant speed or is at rest.

• The car is moving in a circular path.
