Question
Answer
Change in position relative to a reference point.   motion  
🗑
A stationary object used for comparison to determine if an object is in motion.   reference point  
🗑
SI unit of length   meter  
🗑
Number of centimeters in one meter   100  
🗑
Number of meters in one kilometer   1000  
🗑
The distance traveled in a certain amount of time   speed  
🗑
Total distance divided by total time   average speed  
🗑
Speed in a given direction   velocity  
🗑
Rise divided by run   slope  
🗑
The rate at which velocity changes   acceleration  
🗑
Increasing speed, decreasing speed,or changing direction   acceleration  
🗑
For an object moving in a straight line, the change in speed per unit of time   acceleration  
🗑
Both velocity and acceleration include ______________ of an object's motion   direction  
🗑
For zero distance, speed is   zero  
🗑
For zero speed, motion is   zero  
🗑
For zero acceleration, speed does not   change  
🗑
The steepness of a line on a graph   slope  
🗑
When an object's distance from another object is changing it it in   motion  
🗑
Speed equals distance divided by   time  
🗑
When you know both the speed and direction of an object's motion you know the   velocity  
🗑
If the speed of an object does NOT change the object is traveling at a   constant speed  
🗑
If an object moves in the same direction and at a constant speed _____ did not change.   velocity  
🗑
Example of deceleration is a car approaching a   red light  
🗑
Riding a ferris wheel is acceleration because ___________ is changing   direction  
🗑
SI unit of speed   m/s  
🗑
SI unit of acceleration   meter per second per second  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
