Unit 3 Motion Review

What does the term "displacement" refer to in physics?

• The total path traveled by an object

• The change in position of an object

• The speed of an object

• The time taken to travel a distance

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

• Distance is a vector quantity, displacement is scalar

• Distance is always greater than displacement

• Distance is the total path traveled, displacement is the shortest path

• Distance is measured in time, displacement in speed

What is the rate at which an object changes its velocity over time called?

• Speed

• Acceleration

• Inertia

• Displacement

What term describes the state of an object when it is not in motion?

• At Rest

• Constant Speed

• Linear Motion

• Friction

Which term refers to the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken?

• Velocity

• Average Speed

• Distance

• Time

What is a graph that shows the comparison of distance over time called?

• Distance Time Graph

• Reference Point

• X-Axis

• Y-Axis

What is the force that opposes the motion of an object when it is in contact with another object or surface?

• Force

• Friction

• Inertia

• Displacement

What is the tendency of an object to resist changes in its motion?

• Inertia

• Acceleration

• Speed

• Force
