A horizontal line on a distance-time graph indicates that the object is:
  • Moving uniformly
  • Accelerating

  • Equal change in velocity in equal intervals of time
  • Distance remains constant
  • Speed decreases continuously

  • Distance and displacement are both zero
  • Distance is zero but displacement is not zero
  • Distance is not zero but displacement is zero
  • Both are equal and non-zero
A vehicle may show a constant reading on the speedometer and still accelerate because:
  • Its mass changes
  • Its direction changes
  • Its engine stops
  • Friction becomes zero
Which statement is always true?
  • Distance is equal to displacement
  • Distance is less than displacement
  • Distance is greater than or equal to displacement
  • Displacement is always positive
If the velocity-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis, the object is:

Which graph corresponds to uniformly accelerated motion?
  • Curved distance-time graph with irregular shape
  • Straight velocity-time graph with constant slope
  • Horizontal velocity-time graph
  • Horizontal acceleration-time graph at zero
During motion in a straight line, if an object reverses its direction, then:
  • Distance decreases
  • Displacement may decrease
  • Speed becomes negative
  • Time becomes zero
Which statement best describes acceleration?
  • Rate of change of position
  • Rate of change of velocity
  • Rate of change of distance
  • Rate of change of mass
An object can have:
  • Zero speed and non-zero velocity
  • Non-zero speed and zero velocity
  • Zero displacement and non-zero distance
  • Zero distance and non-zero displacement
A curved line on a distance-time graph indicates:
  • Uniform motion
  • Non-uniform motion
  • No motion
  • Constant velocity
In which case is acceleration definitely non-zero?
  • An object moving with constant speed in a circle
  • An object at rest
  • An object moving in a straight line with constant velocity
  • An object with zero displacement
You hear that a storm is moving 15km/h north. You have been given the storm's _____________.

A measure of the distance an object travels in a unit of time.
  • meters per second
  • velocity
  • motion
  • speed
To describe velocity you need to know ________.
  • speed and direction
  • speed and time
  • direction and acceleration
  • speed and acceleration
Displacement is the difference between the initial position and the _______ position of an object.
  • positive
  • resting
  • motion
  • final
According to the graph, about how long did the object take to move 40 m?
  • 5s
  • 2s
  • 3s
  • 4s
You travel 200km in 2h. Your __________ speed is 100km/h.
  • constant
  • average
  • instantaneous
  • initial
A distance vs. time graph shows an object's
  • frame of reference
  • speed
  • acceleration
  • favorite food
The speed at any single instant of time?
  • speed
  • average speed
  • instantaneous speed
  • velocity
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
  • distance is the total length of the path an object travels. Displacement is the straight line distance from starting point to ending point with a certain direction
  • displacement is the total length of the path an object travels. Distance is the straight line distance from starting point to ending point.
  • displacement uses no direction whereas distance does
  • there is no difference. they are the same!
