1. Which of the following best describes an object in motion?
It is standing still.
Its position is changing over time.
It is always accelerating.
It has a constant speed of zero.
2. What does the slope of a distance-time graph represent?
Time
Distance
Speed
Acceleration
3. A is a device used to measure the speed of a vehicle.
4. When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in motion.
5. A car travels 150 kilometers in 3 hours. Calculate its average speed.
6. Analyze the distance-time graph below and answer the questions that follow.
a) During which time interval was the object moving fastest?
b) During which time interval was the object at rest?
7. Velocity includes both speed and direction.
True
False
8. An object moving in a circle at a constant speed has a constant velocity.
True
False
9. Describe a real-world scenario where an object's speed is constant but its velocity is changing.
