Uniform motion
1. The total length of the path traveled by an object is called .
2. is defined as the rate at which an object changes its position.
3. The unit for acceleration in the SI system is .
1. Displacement can be greater than distance.

2. An object moving at a constant speed in a straight line has zero acceleration.
True
False
1. A car travels 100 meters east, then turns around and travels 50 meters west. What is the total distance traveled and what is its displacement?
2. Explain the difference between speed and velocity.
A car's motion is represented by the following position-time graph:
1. During which time interval is the car moving at a constant velocity?
2. During which time interval is the car speeding up?
Match each term with its correct definition.
1. Velocity
a. The rate of change of velocity
2. Acceleration
b. Distance traveled per unit time
3. Speed
c. Displacement per unit time with direction
