____ 2. Speed and direction b. force
____ 3. An object’s tendency to stay in motion c. speed
____ 4. The motion of a spinning object d. velocity
____ 5. the unit of force e. inertia
____ 6. When an object changes position from one place to another f. net force
____ 7. An increase in speed g. newton
____ 8. The time an object takes to travel a certain distance h. rotation
____ 9. Pull or push i. translatory
____ 10. When an object doesn’t move j. at rest

Part B. Write down an example of each type of motion.

1. Translatory:
___________________________________________________________________
2. Rotational:
____________________________________________________________________
3. Vibrational:
___________________________________________________________________
4. Mixed Motion:
_________________________________________________________________

Part C. Write V if the situation represents constant velocity, A for acceleration, or D for
deceleration.
______ 1. Lilliana runs 10 meters in 5 seconds and then runs 5 meters in the next 5 seconds.
______ 2. A car went to the right at 50 mph. It turned left and kept on going at the same speed.
______ 3. Jose slowed his car down to 15 mph because he had come to a school zone.
______ 4. The airplane’s velocity has been 500 mph for the last two hours.
______ 5. The cyclist who won the race reached a constant speed of 25 km/h while he went
around the circular track.
______ 6. When it took the interstate, the car’s speed changed from 40 mph to 60 mph.

Part D. Answer T for True and F for false.

______ 1. Mixed motion takes place when than one motion occurs at the same time.
______ 2. Speed and velocity are the same thing.
______ 3. Weight is the force with which Earth pulls objects towards it.
______ 4. An object accelerates when its speed drops.
______ 5. The lower the mass, the lower the inertia.
______ 6. If the net force is 0, the object is in equilibrium.
______ 7. According to the law of action and reaction, forces occur in pairs.
______ 8. A car’s speedometer indicates the distance it has covered.
______ 9. You have to identify a reference point in order to describe an object’s motion.
______ 10. To calculate speed, we need to know the distance covered and the total time taken
to cover it.

E. Calculate.
total distance traveled
Formula: average speed =
timetaken

1. What is the average speed of a ball that rolls 4 meters in 2 seconds?

2. What is the average speed of a train that travels 300 kilometers in 2 hours?

3. What is the average speed of a cyclist who rides 20 meters in 5 minutes?

4. What is the net force on a block if we apply a force of 20 N upwards and another force of 10 N downwards?

5. What is the net force on a box if we apply a force of 5 N to the right and another force of 7 N to the left?
