When you know both the speed and direction of an object’s motion, you know the

1

Which of the following is the SI unit for speed ?

1

Two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities if they:

1

The International System of Units is used by scientists

1

If you know a car traveled 300 kilometers in 3 hours, you can find its

1

Suppose you are sitting in a car at a red light when a car moving toward the north begins to pass you. If you use the passing car as a reference point, the direction in which you appear to be moving is toward the_______ 

1

The basic SI unit of length is the_______   .

1

If two lines appear on the same motion graph, the line with the steeper  _______ indicates a greater speed.

1

A _______ is a place or object used for comparison to determine if something is in motion.

1

_______ is the length of the path between two points.

1

If a toy car traveling at 10 cm/s passes a toy car moving at 10 cm/s in the opposite direction, both cars have the same velocity.

1

Speed in a given direction is called velocity.

1

Most objects do not travel at a constant speed.

1

Motion is measured relative to a reference point.

1

Average speed is the rate at which an object is moving at a given instant.

1

A straight diagonal line on a distance-versus-time graph indicates constant speed.

2

What two variables are plotted on the graph?

1

How far did Kathy jog in the first 4 minutes?
_______ m.
