motion
reference point
Basic SI unit of length or distance is:
Meter
Seconds
Grams
Minutes
Which of the following choices is an example of VELOCITY?
35 mph
35 meters
35 mph EAST
35 minutes
The speed of an object at one instant of time is called:
Average Speed
Instantaneous Speed
Velocity
Acceleration
Steepness of a line on a graph:
Slope
Acceleration
Speed
Velocity
The rate at which velocity changes and can be seen by speeding up, slowing down, or changing direction:
Speed
Velocity
Acceleration
Slope
To calculate speed:
Speed = time + distance
Speed = time X distance
Speed = distance X distance
Speed = distance ➗ time
Using which point shows the object at REST?
from O to A
from A to B
from C to D

What is happening at segment A?
no motion/object at rest
constant speed
deceleration
0-2 seconds using the distance vs. time graph.
Which scenario does not describe an example of acceleration?
A car increases its speed while turning to the left.
A car decreases speed while its driving straight ahead.
A car maintains a constant speed while turning to the right.

kg*m/s
Rebecca conducted an experiment with a radio controlled car. From rest, the car went 20 m/s and ended at 30 m/s in 2 seconds. What is the average acceleration?
5 m/s squared
10 m/s squared
15 m/s squared
20 m/s squared
Speed equals distance divided by
time
velocity
size
motion

10 seconds
Motion is
a word that rhymes with ocean.
an object's change in its speed to a reference point.
an object's change in position to a reference point.
an object's change in position to its rate of speed.
The best reference points are stationary (not moving).
true
false
What does it mean when a change in velocity is negative?
The object is speeding up.
The object is slowing down.
The object is changing direction.
The object is falling down.
