SPH4C Grade 12 College Physics - Pt. 1 Motion
Exam Questions and Correct
1. average speed correct answer: The overall rate of speed at which an object moves; calculated by
dividing the total distance an object travels by the total time.
2. average speed formula correct answer: total distance/total time
3. instantaneous velocity correct answer: velocity of an object at a particular instant
4. Velocity correct answer: the speed of an object in a particular direction (units are m/s or km/h)
5. Velocity formula correct answer: v=d/t (e.g., 70km/h NORTH)
6. instantaneous speed correct answer: The rate at which an object is moving (speed) at a
given moment in time
7. Speed vs. instantaneous velocity correct answer: Speed - account for motion
occurring over a time period Instant velocity - describe motion at a given point in time
8. constant speed correct answer: the rate of change of position in which the same distance is
traveled each second
9. constant speed graph correct answer: straight diagonal line
10. How to calculate distance correct answer: distance = speed x time
11. How to calculate time correct answer: distance/speed
12. Force (N) correct answer: A push or pull exerted on an object
13. Mass (g or kg) correct answer: A measure of the amount of matter in an object
14. Acceleration (m/s2) correct answer: The rate at which velocity changes
15. How to calculate force correct answer: F=ma
16. Speed correct answer: The distance an object travels per unit of time
17. Displacement correct answer: Distance and direction of an object's change in position
from the starting point.
18. Newton's First Law correct answer: Law of Inertia correct answer: An object at rest
stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and in the same
direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force
19. Inertia correct answer: The tendency of an object to resist a change in motion
20. Newton's Second Law correct answer: Force = ma
The rate of change of momentum of a body is proportional to force causing it and takes place in
direction where force acts
21. Newton's Third Law correct answer: For every action there is an equal and
