Use your notes to help you answer each question.
Take your time.
PAY CAREFUL attention to the TYPE of graph you are looking at!

Question 1

1.

What does a negative acceleration indicate?

No change in motion

Object is speeding up

Object is slowing down

Direction is reversed

Question 2

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

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

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

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

Question 6

6.

What does a straight horizontal line on a distance-time graph represent?

No motion over time.

Object moving backwards.

Constant speed forward.

Speed is increasing.

Question 7

7.

thrice

not at all

twice

once

Question 8

8.

If a distance-time graph has a positive slope, what does it indicate?

Object is stationary.

Object is moving away from the starting point.

Object is moving backward.

Question 9

9.

What does a steeper slope on a distance-time graph show?

Slower than before.

No movement occurs.

Faster speed of the object.

Constant speed only.
