motion

Section: Standard Reference Points
A nonmoving object on Earth's surface can be used as which of the following for seeing motion?
a standard reference point
a standard starting point
a standard finishing point
a standard midpoint

Section: Motion in a two-dimensional System
On the grid in the figure in your book on page 337 that illustrates motion in a two-dimensional system, where is the starting reference point?
one position to the right on the x-axis
where the x-axis meets the y-axis
one position to the left on the x-axis
one position up on the y-axis

Section: Motion in a two-dimensional System
How would the motion of an object moving to the right be describedin reference to t two-dimensional grid?
in a positive direction on the y-axis
in a negative direction on the y-axis
in a negative direction on the x-axis
in a positive direction on the x-axis

The rate at which an object moves is its_______________.
the total distance traveled divided by the total timetaken to travel is called________________.
One way to express speed is the SI unit of __________
per second

Section: Average Speed
Place the terms in the correct sentence
Average speed
?
speed
?
meters
?

Section: Making a graph showing speed
Distance units are plotted on the y-axis of a graph showing speed.Which of the following is plotted on the x-axis?
meters
speed
motion
time

Section: recognizing speed ona graph
Why might the distance traveled in a given second vary on a graph showing speed?
because the speed is constant
because the speed is not constant
because there is no motion
because motion is constant

Section: VELOCITY Direction Matters

Section: Speed Versus Velocity
What is the difference between speed and velocity?
Speed must include a direction
Velocity must include a direction
Speed and velocity are the same
Velocity never includes a direction
A decrease in speed is sometimes called ____________________ acceleration.
The rate at which velocity changes over time is called____________________.
An increase in speed is sometimes called ________________ acceleration.
