An object travels 5 meters in 1 second. Then travels 10 meters in 2 seconds, next it travels 15 meters in 3 seconds. Which best describes the motion of the object?

• it is going faster

• it is slowing down

• it is moving backwards

• it is moving at a constant speed

To determine the motion of an object, what information should be known?

• mass of the object and length of the object

• direction the object travels and the force of gravity on the object

• the time the object moves and the mass of the object

• the distance the object moves and the time it takes to move that distance

Abe and Betty walked in a straight path from a starting line. Both Abe and Betty walked at the same constant speed, but Betty walked for 10 minutes longer than Abe. What can be concluded about the walk?

• Betty walked farther than Abe

• Betty walked slower than Abe

• Abe slowed during the end of the walk

• Betty accelerated during the last 10 minutes

a ball is kicked across a sidewalk and onto a road covered in small rocks. Which best describes the effect the rocky road will have on the ball?

• the rocky road will decrease the speed of the ball because of its mass

• the rocky road will increase the speed of the ball because of it mass

• the rocky road will increase the speed of the ball because of friction

• the rocky road will decrease the speed of the ball because of friction

Tom kicked a soccer ball with a certain force. After the ball stopped moving, Joe kicked the same soccer ball with a greater force. Which statement describes what most likely happened to the ball?

• the ball moved faster but not as far when Joe kicked it

• the ball moved faster and farther when Tom kicked it

• the ball moved faster and farther when Joe kicked it.

• the ball moved slower but farther when Tom kicked it

Two balls of similar shape and size, one weighing 1 kg. and the other 2 kg. are both dropped from the top of a ladder at the same time. Which ball will hit the ground first?

• Gravity will cause both to hit the ground at the same time

• friction will cause both to hit the ground at the same time

• the 2 kg ball will hit the ground first because it has more mass than the 1 kg ball

• the 1 kg ball will hit the ground first because it has less mass than the 2 kg ball
