___________ is something that is moving and having movement. A 100
Motion A 100
This is the stationary object/area used for comparison. A 200
Frame of Reference OR Reference Point A 200
These are the three most common frames of reference. *Not on Test A 300
Sun, Earth, Moon A 300
Identify the frame of reference: A bus moves past people standing on a sidewalk. A 400
People A 400
Identify the frame of reference: A football player crosses the goal line and scores a touchdown. A 500
Goal Line A 500
Speed = Distance / Time B 100
A horse traveled a distance of 50km in 2 hours. What was the horse s speed? B 200
25 km/hr B 200
How much time would it take a storm to travel 80km, if the storm is traveling at 20km/hr. B 300
4 hours B 300
How far would you have traveled if you ran 4 m/s for 50 seconds? B 400
200 meters B 400
David grandmothers house is 4 kilometers away. It took him 30 minutes to bicycle to his grandmother s house. What was his speed in km/hr? B 500
8 km/hr B 500
What two components does velocity have? C 100
Speed Direction C 100
A snowboarder is moving south at 5.5 km/hr. What is her velocity? C 200
5.5 km/hr South C 200
You are paddling a canoe at a speed of 10 m/s downstream. If the water s current has a velocity of 20 m/s downstream, how fast are you traveling? C 300
30 m/s downstream C 300
DAILY DOUBLE DOUBLE DAILY Place A Wager C 400
You are on an airplane traveling 300 miles/hour west. The wind that you are flying through has a velocity of 100 miles/hour east. What is your velocity? C 400
200 miles/hour WEST C 400
You are paddling 15 m/s upstream of a river. The current of the river is moving at 20 m/s downstream. What is your overall velocity? C 500
5 m/s downstream C 500
This is defined as a change in velocity. D 100
Acceleration D 100
A merry-go-round is traveling at a constant speed of 2 m/s. Is the merry-go-round accelerating? D 200
YES, because it is changing direction. D 200
Acceleration refers to what three things? D 300
1)Increasing speed 2) Decreasing speed 3) Change of direction D 300
Is the moon accelerating? Explain D 400
YES.Even though it is moving at a constant speed, it is moving in a circular path so it is always changing direction. D 400
Assuming that each cyclist did not change direction during the race, which cyclist had no acceleration? 10-km Bicycle Race 10 9 8 7 6 Distance (km) John Brian Mary 5 4 3 2 1 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 55 60 D 500 Time (Minutes)
