Distance, Displacement and Speed.

 Jermaine runs exactly 2 laps around a 400 meter track. What is the displacement?

• 800
• 400
• 0
• 200

How far an object has moved?

• displacement
• distance
• motion
• reference point

Which is true?

• Speed is measured in m/s but velocity is measured in s/m

• Speed is a vector and velocity is a scalar

• Speed and velocity are the same exact thing

• Speed is like velocity but without a direction

If it takes 45 s to travel 50 m, what was your average speed over the course of the trip?

• 2,250 m/s

• 0.9 m/s

• 1.1 m/s

• 95 m/s

Which of the following has INCORRECT units?

• speed = m/s

• time = s

• displacement = m

• velocity = s

• 10 km

• 7 km

• 8 km

• 6 km

Which is the length of the path an object has traveled?

• displacement

• distance

• motion

• reference point

65 km per hour North is an example of an objects what?

• Speed

• Velocity

• Average Speed

• Constant Speed

Speed is equal to 

• Distance/Time
• Time/Distance
• Time x Distance
• Acceleration
