Motion, Gravity, and Forces

The location of a place or an object is called its....

• position
• motion
• speed
• reference point

A location to which you can compare other locations is called

• reference point
• motion
• location
• position

The change of position over time is called

• position
• motion
• speed
• location

The measure of how quickly something moves or the distance it moves in a given amount of time is called

• motion
• position
• speed
• location

Speed is equal to the distance divided by

• position
• time
• height
• motion

Carlos lives 100 meters from his friend's house. What is his average speed if he reaches his friends house in 50 seconds?
Distance= 100 m
time = 50 seconds

• 1 m/s
• 2 m/s
• 3 m/s
• 4 m/s

A soccer ball is kicked from 40 meters out. It takes 5 seconds to reach the goal. What speed was the ball traveling?
d= 40 m
t= 5 s

• 6 m/s
• 7 m/s
• 8 m/s
• 9 m/s

Speed in a specific direction is called

• speed
• acceleration
• position
• velocity

Stating that a man is traveling north at 30 m/s is an statement of his

• speed
• velocity
• accleration
• endurance
