1d motion test

Question 1

motion

Answer 1

change in an object’s position

Question 2

distance (m)

Answer 2

total change in an object’s position, doesn’t include direction in measurement

Question 3

displacement (m)

Answer 3

net change in an object’s position, does include direction in measurement (the shortest distance between two points)

Question 4

speed (m/s)

Answer 4

measurement of how much something’s position changes per unit time
magnitude

Question 5

velocity (m/s)

Answer 5

measurement of how much something’s position changes per unit time, magnitude and direction
+ and - sign is the direction

Question 6

delta (triangle)

Answer 6

change in

Question 7

instantaneous velocity (m/s)

Answer 7

how fast an object is moving at a particular instant in time and the direction of the object’s motion

Question 8

acceleration

Answer 8

rate of change in an object’s velocity per unit time

Question 9

slope

Answer 9

measure of steepness of a line
