1.

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

a)

Speed is a direction, velocity is a magnitude.

b)

Speed is scalar, velocity is vector.

c)

Speed and velocity are the same thing.

d)

Speed is a vector, velocity is scalar.

2.

Explain how to calculate speed using the formula.

a)

Speed = Distance / Time

b)

Speed = Distance + Time

c)

Speed = Time / Distance

d)

Speed = Distance x Time

3.

Define distance-time graphs and how they represent motion.

a)

Distance-time graphs show the weight of an object over time.

b)

Distance-time graphs represent motion by displaying the color of an object as it moves.

c)

Distance-time graphs depict the temperature of an object as it changes with time.

d)

Distance-time graphs represent motion by showing how the distance an object has traveled changes over time, with the slope indicating speed.

4.

How can you determine the speed from a distance-time graph?

a)

Count the number of grid squares

b)

Calculate the gradient of the line on the distance-time graph.

c)

Look at the color of the graph

d)

Measure the width of the graph

5.

What does uniform motion mean?

a)

An object moving in a straight line at an increasing speed.

b)

An object moving in a zigzag pattern at varying speeds.

c)

An object moving in a circular path at a constant speed.

d)

An object moving in a straight line at a constant speed.

6.

Give an example of an object in uniform motion.

a)

A bicycle going uphill

b)

A boat in rough waters

c)

A car traveling on a highway at a constant speed of 60 mph.

d)

A plane taking off

7.

If an object is moving at a constant speed, what can you say about its distance-time graph?

a)

The distance-time graph will be a straight line.

b)

The distance-time graph will be a spiral.

c)

The distance-time graph will be a zigzag line.

d)

The distance-time graph will be a parabola.

8.

How is velocity different from speed in uniform motion?

a)

Velocity is measured in kilometers per hour, while speed is measured in meters per second.

b)

Velocity is constant in uniform motion, while speed varies.

c)

Velocity is a scalar quantity, while speed is a vector quantity.

d)

Velocity includes direction, while speed does not.

9.

Explain the concept of acceleration in relation to time and motion.

a)

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

b)

Acceleration is the same as velocity.

c)

Acceleration is constant in all situations.

d)

Acceleration is the rate of change of speed with respect to time.

10.

Describe the motion of an object when its speed is increasing.

a)

The object is stationary.

b)

The object is moving at a constant speed.

c)

The object is decelerating.

d)

The object is accelerating.
