What is the definition of displacement?
Total length of the path actually taken from Point A to Point B
Length of a straight line between two points
Ratio of distance traveled to the amount of time taken
Speed in a specific direction
What does speed refer to in force and motion?
Speed in a specific direction
Ratio of distance traveled to the amount of time taken
Motion of an object with a velocity that does not change
Length of a straight line between two points
What is uniform motion or constant speed?
Speed in a specific direction
Motion of an object with a velocity that does not change
Total length of the path actually taken from Point A to Point B
Ratio of distance traveled to the amount of time taken
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Distance is a straight line, displacement is the path taken
Displacement is a straight line, distance is the path taken
Both are the same
Distance is speed, displacement is velocity
Which of the following is not a characteristic of uniform motion?
Constant velocity
Changing speed
No change in direction
Steady motion
How is speed different from velocity?
Speed includes direction, velocity does not
Velocity includes direction, speed does not
Both include direction
Neither includes direction
What is the primary factor that distinguishes velocity from speed?
Time
Distance
Direction
Displacement
