What is the difference between speed and velocity?

Speed is scalar; velocity is vector (includes direction).

Speed is a vector; velocity is a scalar.

Speed measures distance; velocity measures time.

Speed is always constant; velocity can change.

What is the name of the size of a vector? (Hint: it is how big or small a value is.)

Magnitude

Position

Direction

Length

What is an instant in physics?

An instant in physics is a specific point in time with no duration.

An instant in physics refers to a moment that can be measured in seconds.

An instant in physics is a long duration of time.

An instant in physics is a continuous flow of time.

What does "delta time" mean?

Delta time is the time interval between two points in time.

Delta time indicates the temperature change over time.

Delta time is a measurement of distance traveled.

Delta time refers to the speed of a moving object.

What does "delta x" mean?

Delta x indicates the average of x.

Delta x is a constant value of object's position.

'Delta x' means a change in the objetc's position.

Delta x refers to the maximum value of x.

What is the equation for displacement in one dimension?

displacement = x_i + x_f

displacement = x_f - x_i

displacement= x_f \times x_i

Displacement = x_f / x_i

What is the equation for the magnitude of displacement in two dimensions?

D = Δx + Δy

D = √(Δx² + Δy²)

D = Δx - Δy

D = Δx / Δy

What is motion?

Motion is the change in position of an object over time.

Motion is the color of an object in space.

Motion is the speed of an object at rest.

Motion is the force applied to an object.

What is a reference frame?

A reference frame is a style of painting.

A reference frame is a method for cooking food.

A reference frame is a coordinate system for measuring positions and motions of objects.

A reference frame is a type of physical object.

10.

If the calculated velocity of an object is negative, what does it mean?

It indicates the object is accelerating.

It shows the object is moving faster.

It means the object is moving in the opposite direction.

It means the object is at rest.

11.

What should the trajectory of an object be for its speed and velocity to have the same magnitude?

The trajectory should be a circular path.

The trajectory should be a straight line.

The trajectory should be a parabolic curve.

The trajectory should be an oscillating motion.

12.

True or false: Speed is related to displacement.

false

true

speed is independent of displacement

speed is the same as distance

13.

What is the velocity of an object if its initial position is 20 m, its final position is 5 m, and it takes from an initial time of 2 s to a final time of 9 s?

1.43 m/s

-5 m/s

-2.14 m/s

0 m/s

14.

What is the speed of an object if its initial position is 20 m, its final position is 5 m, and it takes from an initial time of 2 s to a final time of 9 s?

1.43 m/s

-5.00 m/s

0.50 m/s

2.14 m/s

15.

If an object travels 15 meters in 2 seconds, what would its average speed be?

5 meters per second

10 meters per second

7.5 meters per second

20 meters per second

16.

If an object has an average velocity of -15 meters per second, what would its final position be after 10 seconds, starting at 0 meters?

0 meters

-150 meters

-50 meters

-100 meters
