  • Q1
    Which of the following best describes the relationship between speed, velocity, and acceleration?
    Velocity and speed are the same, but acceleration is a type of speed.
    Speed is the rate of change of velocity, and acceleration is velocity in a given direction.
    Speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is speed with a direction, and acceleration is the rate of change of velocity.
    Acceleration is how fast something is moving without direction, and velocity is acceleration with a direction.

    Both your speed and velocity remain unchanged.
    Your speed increases, and your velocity remains the same.
    Your speed remains the same, but your velocity changes.
    Your velocity increases, but your speed remains the same.

  • Q6
    Which of Newton's laws explains why a person feels pushed back into their seat when a car suddenly accelerates?
    Newton's Third Law of Motion
    Newton's Second Law of Motion

  • Q7
    How does Newton's Third Law of Motion apply to the operation of a rocket launch?
    Objects at rest stay at rest
    For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction
    Every object in a uniform state of motion tends to remain in that state of motion unless an external force is applied to it
    Force equals mass times acceleration
