Question 1

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

No change in motion

Object is speeding up

Object is slowing down

Direction is reversed

Question 2

What is a reference point?

A source of energy for motion.

A stationary object used for measuring motion.

Any random object in motion.

An object that moves constantly.

Question 3

How can distance be measured?

Estimated by guessing the length.

By counting the steps taken.

Only in straight lines.

Using units like meters, kilometers, or miles

Question 4

When is an object considered in motion?

When it changes position relative to a reference point.

Only if observed by someone.

If it rotates in place.

When it moves quickly only.

Question 5

Other Answer Choices:

a car remains parked in a car park

a motorbike travels away from home at a steady speed

a runner runs at a steady pace to the end of a trick turns around and runs at the same speed back
