Position and Motion Test

Front

What is speed?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled by an object in a certain amount of time, typically measured in units like miles per hour (mph) or meters per second (m/s).

Front

What is a reference point?

Back

A reference point is a place or object used for comparison to determine if another object is in motion.

Front

How do you calculate the time it takes for two objects moving towards each other to meet?

Back

To find the time it takes for two objects to meet, use the formula: Time = Distance / (Speed1 + Speed2).

Front

What does a constant speed graph look like?

Back

A graph showing constant speed is a straight line, indicating that the object is moving at the same speed over time.

Front

Define motion.

Back

Motion is the process, act, or result of changing place or position.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction, often expressed in units like mph or m/s.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, which can involve speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction.

Front

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Back

Speed is a scalar quantity that refers to how fast an object is moving, while velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Front

If a car travels 60 miles in 1 hour, what is its speed?

Back

The speed of the car is 60 miles per hour (mph).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed = Distance / Time.
