The diagram below shows four different objects that all start at the same place and move along the same path.

Which best describes the motion of these objects?

• Both Objects 2 and 3 are at a higher elevation than Object 1

• Both Objects 1 and 2 are at a lower elevation than Object 4

• Object 4 has traveled farther than the other objects.

• Object 1 has traveled farther than the other objects.

How do people determine if a vehicle in which they are sitting is moving?

ABCD

• by comparing their position to a fixed object inside the vehicle

• by comparing their position to a fixed object outside the vehicle

• by comparing their position to a moving object inside the vehicle

• by comparing their position to a moving object outside the vehicle

Which is MOST likely needed when describing the change in position of an object?

• initial speed

• direction change

• reference point

• constant rate

The car is described as traveling east at 30 km/hr.

A jet plane is moving at a constant velocity on a flat surface. Which forces act against the forward motion of the plane?

• gravity and engine thrust

• engine thrust and friction

• friction and air resistance

• air resistance and gravity

As an object falls, air resistance gradually increases until it is equal with the pull of gravity. This effect is called

• final velocity

• initial velocity

• escape velocity

• terminal velocity.
