What is motion? Acceleration

Directions: Circle the term that correctly completes the sentence. 1. A golfballs acceleration is +3 m/s2. The ball is (speeding up, slowing down.) 2. An objects (speed, displacement) represents its distance and direction from its starting point. 3. A student walks 10 m in 2 s. Her average speed is (20 m/s, 5 m/s). 4. A plane moving at a rate of 400 km/h west has a different (velocity, speed) than a plane moving 400 km/h northwest. 5. During positive acceleration, an objects final speed is (greater, less) than its initial speed. 6. To calculate acceleration, first subtract the initial speed from the final speed. Then divide this difference by the (distance moved, time period). Directions: The graph describes the movement of a car. Match the letters in the graph to the sentences below. 7. The car moves at a constant speed. 8. The car sits motionless at a stoplight. 9. The car undergoes negative acceleration as it approaches a stoplight. 10. The car undergoes positive acceleration as it moves away from a stoplight.

Momentum

Directions: Replace each italicized word in the statements below with the correct term. 1. The more velocity an object has the harder it is to slow it down, speed it up, or turn it. 2. Objects with more mass have less inertia. 3. The weight of an object is the amount of matter in an object. 4. The SI unit for mass is the gram. 5. The tendency of an object to resist change in its motion is called speed. 6. The more mass an object has, the harder it is to change its acceleration. 7. Velocity and momentum are defined the same for all objects, regardless of their mass. 8. The inertia of an object is a measure of how hard it is to stop an object.
