a)

50 seconds

b)

20 seconds

c)

5.

What is the best description of the motion shown in this graph?

a)

The object is moving forward at a constant speed.

b)

The object is moving forward and getting faster and faster.

c)

The object is not moving whatsoever.

d)

The object is moving diagonally.

6.

What is the difference between velocity and speed?

a)

There is no difference. They are exactly the same thing.

b)

Velocity means getting faster and faster.

c)

Velocity is speed, but with a positive or negative indicating the direction of the object.

d)

Speed is how fast, and velocity is where you are going.

b)

Moving forward at a constant speed for 6 seconds and then stopping.

c)

Speeding up for 6 seconds straight and then coming to rest.

d)

Moving diagonally and then walking straight.

8.

What does Force do?

a)

Force is what keeps thing moving at a speed.

b)

Force changes an objects speed or direction.

c)

Opposes motion.

d)

Force is an object's "momentum".

9.

What is Inertia?

a)

A property of matter that keeps objects moving they way they were without force.

b)

An object's tendency to fall.

c)

An object's internal friction.

d)

A property of matter that prevents motion.

10.

A bullet is shot straight up into the air. What happens to the energy of the bullet.

a)

Kinetic Energy transforms into Gravitational Potential Energy

b)

Gravitational Potential Energy transforms into Kinetic Energy

c)

Energy is destroyed as gravity pulls it down.

d)

Elastic Potential Energy transforms into Thermal Energy
