Physics Quiz

What is one of the objectives related to motion in Chapter 2, Section 1?

• Describe motion in terms of mass and energy.

• Describe motion in terms of frame of reference, displacement, time, and velocity.

• Describe motion in terms of force and acceleration.

• Describe motion in terms of speed and distance.

How can you calculate the displacement of an object?

• By knowing the object's mass and acceleration.

• By knowing the object's velocity and time interval.

• By knowing the object's speed and distance.

• By knowing the object's force and energy.

What type of graphs should students be able to construct and interpret according to the objectives?

• Graphs of velocity versus acceleration.

• Graphs of force versus mass.

• Graphs of position versus time.

• Graphs of energy versus time.
