Unit 7 Motion Review

What does a negative slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving away from the starting point.

• The object is moving back towards the starting point.

• The object is accelerating.

If a dog walks 12 meters east and then 16 meters west, what is its displacement?

• 4 meters east

• 4 meters west

• 28 meters west

• 16 meters east

What does a flat line on a distance-time graph indicate?

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object is accelerating.

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving backwards.

What is acceleration?

• Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time.

• Acceleration is the speed of an object in a straight line.

• Acceleration is the distance traveled by an object in a given time.

• Acceleration is the force applied to an object.

What does it mean if an object is accelerating?

• The object is moving at a constant speed.

• The object's speed is changing, either increasing or decreasing.

• The object is coming to a complete stop.

• The object is moving in a circular path.

If you travel 10 miles in 5 minutes, what is your speed?

• 1 mi/min

• 2 mi/min

• 3 mi/min

• 4 mi/min

What does a steep slope on a distance-time graph indicate?

• The object is at rest.

• The object is moving slowly.

• A steep slope indicates that the object is moving quickly.

• The object is changing direction.

If Bill runs 400 meters to Andy's house and back, what is his total distance?

• 600 meters

• 700 meters

• 800 meters

• 900 meters

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

• Distance is a vector quantity that considers direction, while displacement is a scalar quantity representing the total path length.

• Distance is a scalar quantity representing the total path length, while displacement is a vector quantity that considers direction.

• Distance and displacement are the same; both represent the total path length.

• Distance is always greater than displacement, regardless of the path taken.

How do you calculate distance?

• Distance is calculated by adding up all the lengths of the path traveled, regardless of direction.

• Distance is calculated by measuring the straight line between two points.

• Distance is calculated by averaging the speed over time.

• Distance is calculated by multiplying speed by time.
