Motion Speed Acceleration

An increase in velocity is called what type of acceleration?

• Positive

• Negative

• Zero

Acceleration in a circular motion is called

• Positive

• Negative

• Centripetal

• Zero

When acceleration and velocity are in opposite directions, speed will

• increase

• decrease

• stay the same

• move in a circular direction

Speed in a specific direction is called

• velocity

• motion

• speed

• position

The speed of an object at one instant of time is called:

• Average Speed

• Instantaneous Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

Distance an object travels per unit of time and can be written like 35 mph is:

• Acceleration

• Velocity

• Slope

• Speed

The rate at which velocity changes and can be seen by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction:

• Speed

• Velocity

• Acceleration

• Slope
