Distance Speed Velocity & Acceleration

Scott travels north 5 miles and then goes west 3 miles before coming straight back south 2 miles. What is his distance?

• 10 miles

• 7 miles

• 8 miles

• 6 miles

What is speed?

• how far you go
• how much distance is covered over a period of time
• how fast you accelerate
• the change in the location of a object

What is velocity?

• the quickness of an object
• the location of an object
• acceleration
• speed in a specific direction

When a car goes around a corner at 20 mph, why do we say it  accelerates?

• The car is accelerating because of the velocity is constant
• The car accelerates because it's going 20 mph
• Cars always accelerate when they are in motion
• The car is accelerating because it's changing direction

Acceleration can be classified as _______________

• Speeding up
• Slowing Down
• Changing directions
• All of the above

• Green object is moving at a faster constant speed than Red

• Red object is moving at a faster constant speed than Green

• Green object is moving at a slower constant speed than Red

• Red object is moving 2 times faster than Green

• Object not moving
• Object accelerating
• Object slowing down
• Object at a constant speed

In which time interval was the object speeding up?   

• between 0 s and 2 s
• between 2 s and 4 s
• between 6 s and 8 s
• between 8 s and 10 s
