Kinematics Quiz

Question 1

What are the 2 parts of mechanics?

Answer 1

Kinematics and dynamics

Question 2

The description of how objects move through space and time

Answer 2

Kinematics

Question 3

Deals with force and why objects move as they do

Answer 3

Dynamics

Question 4

Moving without rotating

Answer 4

Translational motion

Question 5

Objects that move along a straight-line path

Answer 5

One dimensional translational motion

Question 6

A point that has no size and can only undergo translational motion

Answer 6

Particle

Question 7

Measurements like position, distance, or speed need this “with respect to”

Answer 7

Reference frame

Question 8

A change in position of an object; how far the object is from its starting point

Answer 8

Displacement

Question 9

Magnitude and direction; displacement has it

Answer 9

Vectors

Question 10

Vectors that point in one direction have a

Answer 10

Positive sign

Question 11

Vectors that point in the opposite direction have a

Answer 11

Negative sign

Question 12

How far an object travels in a given time interval no matter the direction

Answer 12

Speed

Question 13

The total distance traveled along its path divided by the time it takes to travel this distance

Answer 13

Average speed

Question 14

Refers to both the magnitude of how fast an object is moving and the direction in which it is moving; measured in vectors

Answer 14

Velocity

Question 15

Defined in terms of displacement

Answer 15

Velocity

Question 16

Average speed and average velocity have the same magnitude when the motion is

Answer 16

All in one direction

Question 17

Time that has passed during chosen period of observation

Answer 17

Elapsed time

Question 18

Velocity at any instant of time

Answer 18

Instantaneous velocity

Question 19

If an object moves at a constant velocity during the time interval then it’s instantaneous velocity is

Answer 19

The same as its average velocity

Question 20

Changing velocity, specifies how rapidly the velocity of an object is changing

Answer 20

Acceleration

Question 21

The change in velocity divided by the time taken to make this change

Answer 21

Average acceleration

Question 22

The study of the motion of objects and the related concept of force and energy form this

Answer 22

Mechanics
