| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What kind of motion does Acceleration refer to? | Increasing Speed, Decreasing Speed, and Changing direction |
| The rate at which velocity changes is __________. | acceleration |
| A decrease in speed is sometimes called | Deceleration or negative acceleration |
| a type of motion where objects change direction but not speed is called | circular motion |
| To determine acceleration of an object moving in a straight line, you must calculate | the change in speed per unit of time |
| When a graph shows speed versus time as a slanted straight line the acceleration is | constant |
| A graph of distance versus time for an accelerating object is | curved |
| An object is in motion | when its distance from another object changes |
| What is a reference point? | a place or object used for comparison to determine whether something is in motion. |
