An object starts from rest and accelerates at 5 m/s/s. After 4 seconds, its speed will be:

• 0.

• 20 m/s.

• 10 m/s.

• 30 m/s.

The tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion is called:

• inertia

• friction

• work

• weight

How long would a car travelling at a speed of 60 km/h take to cover a distance of 90 km?

• 2½ hours

• 3½ hours

• 1½ hours

• 4½ hours

The change in position of an object and its direction is known as:

• average speed

• displacement

• average velocity

• distance

A cyclist has a weight of 500 N, the road pushes up with 500 N, the thrust force is 30 N and the drag is 32 N. The cyclist will be:

• decelerating

• accelerating

• travelling at constant velocity

• stationary

Distance is the length of the actual path travelled. What is displacement?

• The distance between the starting point and end point

• The amount of liquid that has to move when you get in the bath

• The area covered on the journey

• The total distance travelled

A car has an unfastened load on its roof racks. It slams its brakes on and the load falls off at the same speed the car was travelling at.
