Uniform Motion and Speed Quiz

Key Motion Concepts

• Distance is defined as the total length of the path traveled by an object over a specific time period, usually measured in units such as meters or kilometers.

• Displacement describes the change in position of an object over time in a specific direction, measured as a straight line from the initial position to the final position.

• An object moving in one direction with constant speed maintains the same rate of distance covered over time, meaning its velocity remains unchanged.

• Uniform motion is characterized by an object moving at a constant speed along a straight path, meaning both distance and direction are consistent over time.

• Speed indicates how quickly an object is moving regardless of direction, typically expressed in terms like meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
