What is the definition of motion?
An object is stationary
An object is in motion if its position changes with time
An object is at rest
An object is moving in a circle
Which of the following is a vector quantity?
Speed
Time
Distance
Displacement
What is the relationship between distance and displacement?
Distance and displacement are equal in all cases
Displacement can be greater than distance
Distance is always less than displacement
Displacement is always less than distance
What does the slope of a position-time graph represent?
Acceleration
Distance
Displacement
Velocity
If an object's velocity is decreasing, what can be said about its acceleration?
It is zero
It is in the same direction as velocity
It is opposite to the direction of velocity
It is always positive
Which equation relates final velocity, initial velocity, acceleration, and time?
v^2 = v_0^2 + 2ax
x = vt
v = v_0 + at
x = v_0 t + 1/2 at^2
What is the acceleration due to gravity (g) in free fall motion?
Varies with altitude
9.8 m/s² upward
0 m/s²
9.8 m/s² downward
In a velocity-time graph, what does a horizontal line indicate?
Increasing velocity
Decreasing velocity
Zero acceleration
Uniform acceleration
What is the stopping distance of a vehicle proportional to?
Acceleration
Initial velocity squared
Initial velocity
Time taken
Which of the following is true about speed and velocity?
Speed is a vector quantity
Velocity is always positive
Speed can be negative
Velocity can be negative
How do you find total displacement from a velocity-time graph?
By measuring the height
By finding the area under the curve
By finding the intercepts
By calculating the slope
What is the first step in problem-solving for motion problems?
Choose the appropriate kinematic equation
Draw a diagram
List given quantities
Check if the answer makes sense
What is the maximum height reached by a ball thrown upward with an initial velocity of 20 m/s?
40 m
5 m

10 m
What is the significance of Galileo's Law of Odd Numbers?
It states that all objects fall at the same rate
It relates distances traversed during equal time intervals by a falling body
It describes the motion of objects in circular paths
It applies only to horizontal motion
