WorksheetsYr10 Motion - Distance, Displacement and Speed
Total questions: 45
Worksheet time: 1hrs 8mins
Distance
the amount of space between one point and another
a specific point in space
the change in position of an object
the point or place where something begins
speed
distance traveled per unit of time
a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)
measured period during which something occurs
a change in the velocity (speed, direction, or both) of a body (related word: accelerate)
motion
a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)
a pull or push that is applied to an object
the change in position of an object
the amount of space between one point and another
time
measured period during which something occurs
a change in the position of an object compared to another object (related term: move, movement)
a pull or push that is applied to an object
displacement
the change in position of an object
the amount of space between one point and another
the speed and direction of moving objects
the point or place where something begins
velocity
the speed and direction of moving objects
distance traveled per unit of time
a specific point in space
a pull or push that is applied to an object
Distance divided by time is how you find
speed
velocity
displacement
motion
What is velocity?
The distance an object travels per unit of time.
The change in position of an object.
Speed in a given direction.
The state in which one objects distance from another is changing.
Displacement is
position of object
final position minus initial position
distance divided by time
initial position plus final position
Scott travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is his distance?
10 miles
7 miles
8 miles
6 miles
Which is the length of the path an object has traveled?
displacement
distance
motion
reference point
1. Amy runs 2 miles south, then turns around and runs 3 miles north. What is displacement?

2 miles
A horse follows a dangling carrot for 20 m, if it took her 5 seconds to reach it, what was her average speed?
1,000 m/s
2.5 m/s
4 m/s
20 m/s
Which of the following has INCORRECT units?
speed = m/s
time = s
displacement = m
velocity = s
Which is a vector?
Displacement
Distance
Speed
What is a difference between distance and displacement
Distance is measured in seconds and displacement is measured in meters
Distance is always shorter than displacement
Displacement can be equal to zero if the object ends in the place it began in
