True or false.  The appropriate units for velocity are m/s²

• True
• False

What are the appropriate units to describe acceleration?

• m/s
• m/s²
• cm
• there are no units associated with acceleration

How can acceleration be described?

• distance divided by time
• time divided by distance
• force divided by time
• change in velocity divided by time

How can Newton's second law be represented  mathematically? 

• F=MA
• M= F/A
• A= F/M
• All are correct

Acceleration is a change in...

• Inertia
• Gravity
• Velocity
• Distance

Acceleration changes and object's...

• speed, direction or both
• speed, gravity or both
• gravity, direction or both
• inertia, speed or both
