Physics Worksheet Questions

A delivery robot travels 3 m east, then 4 m west. What is its net displacement?

• 1 m east

• 1 m west

• 7 m total distance

• 0 m

Two students walk the same path. One runs at 5 m/s, the other walks at 3 m/s. Who has greater speed and why?

• The runner; more distance in less time

• The walker; they start earlier

• Both have same speed

• Depends on direction

A motion map shows evenly spaced points with arrows of equal length. What is happening?

• Accelerating motion

• At rest

• Constant velocity

• Non-uniform motion

The velocity-time graph of a runner shows a horizontal line above the time axis. What does this mean?

• Constant speed

• Constant acceleration

• Standing still

• Moving backward

Two runners start from opposite ends of a 100 m track. One runs at 4 m/s. The other starts 5 seconds later at 6 m/s. When do they meet?

• 5 s

• 6.25 s

• 5.5 s

• 8.0 s

In a position vs. time graph, what does the slope represent?

• Acceleration

• Velocity

• Time

• Displacement

A student sketches a velocity vs. time graph. How can they find the displacement?

• Use the slope of the graph

• Measure the area under the curve

• Multiply initial velocity by time

• Use total distance only

If a position vs. time graph curves upward steeply, what does that suggest about velocity?

• Velocity is constant

• Velocity is increasing

• Velocity is decreasing

• Object is turning around
