Unit 2 Topic 1 Quiz

Speed =
1. distance × time
2. distance ÷ time
3. time ÷ distance
4. time - distance
The difference between speed and velocity is:
1. velocity is speed in a given direction
2. speed is velocity in a given direction
3. speed is the gradient of the velocity time graph
4. velocity is a more scientific word for speed.
The units for acceleration are
1. metres second
2. metres per second
3. metres per second squared
4. metres second squared
Acceleration =
1. speed ÷ time
2. time ÷ speed
3. time ÷ change in speed
4. change in speed ÷ time
Acceleration is:
1. the area under the distance time graph
2. the area under the velocity time graph
3. the gradient of the distance time graph
4. the gradient of the velocity time graph
Speed is:
1. the area under the distance time graph
2. the area under the velocity time graph
3. the gradient of the distance time graph
4. the gradient of the velocity time graph
Distance is:
1. the area under the distance time graph
2. the area under the velocity time graph
3. the gradient of the distance time graph
4. the gradient of the velocity time graph
A tachograph plots:
1. an acceleration-time graph
2. a speed time graph
3. a velocity time graph
4. a distance time graph
The gradient of a graph is
1. rise ÷ run
2. run ÷ rise
3. rise × run
4. run + rise
When working out acceleration from a gradient:
1. only a small rise and run are needed to ensure accuracy.
2. large rise and run are needed to ensure accuracy, but the units are not important.
3. large rise and run are needed to ensure accuracy, and the correct units are important.
4. the area and units are important
