| #3 | T or F. Positive acceleration occurs when a car slows down. | False |
| #4 | What happens as a bike approaches a stop sign? | Deceleration |
| #5 | How can two objects traveling at the same speed have different velocities? | They're going in different directions |
| Motion Maps | ||
| #1 | T or F. Motion maps are just like regular line graphs. | False |
| #2 | What do we use instead of an object's drawing on a motion map? | Dots |
| #3 | T or F. Time goes on the bottom of a motion map and distance goes on top. | False |
| #4 | How can you describe the motion of the person in this motion map? | Constant speed |
| #5 | Draw a motion map for a car that travels 150 miles in 3 hours. | |
| Motion Graphs | ||
| #1 | T or F. In speed graphs, time goes on the x-axis and distance goes on the y-axis. | True |
| #2 | What motion is occuring in the following speed graph? | Not moving (at rest) |
| #3 | T or F. A straight upward line on a motion graph always represents constant velocity. | False |
| #4 | What goes on the y-axis in an acceleration graph? | Velocity |
| #5 | Draw a motion graph for an object that is accelerating. | |
| Final Question | |
