Velocity is the measure of

• time and distance

• space and time

• speed at a given moment time

• speed in a certain direction

You are on a vacation to Florida. If you divided the total distance you drove by the total time it took you to get there, what would you have calculated?

• velocity

• acceleration

• average speed

• instantaneous speed

A change in position relative to a reference point is called:

• direction

• velocity

• motion

• acceleration

Which is not true about a reference point?

• it must be a stationary (not moving) object

• if it is not mentioned it is earth

• it is used to determine if an object is in motion

• a moving car is a reference point

The formula for speed is

• time/distance

• distance/time

• distance x time

• time x distance

Inertia is describe as

• object resisting force

• object resisting a change in motion

• object resisting change in speed

• object resisting change in velocity

The greater the mass of an object the... _________ the acceleration

• Increases

• Decreases

You are in a bus waiting to go back from a field trip. The buses are parked one right next to another. You can't decide if you are the bus in motion or the bus next to you. A reference point that can help would be..

• the bus

• students walking to another bus

• lines in the parking lot of where to park

• traffic control people

When an object has a net force of 0 N, it is an example of what kind of force?

• unbalanced

• push

• balance

• pull
