**Grade 6 Unit 3: Forces & Motion Learning Cycle 1 Summative Assessment** 1. Motion is defined as a change in the (speed/position/acceleration) of an object relative to (its speed/its velocity/a reference point). 2. Which is not an example of acceleration? a. maintaining a constant speed b. slowing down c. changing direction d. speeding up 3. Mia was playing catch with her younger brother in the yard. What is the best example of a reference point that could be used to show that their ball was in motion? e. the sun f. Mia g. the speed of the ball is 2 meters per second h. the ball 4. Match each example to the appropriate term. Answer choices: speed, velocity, and acceleration how fast an object is moving -- -------------------------------------- the rate at which velocity changes 50 meters per second per second 50 kilometers per hour West 50 kilometers per hour the speed and direction of an object 5. Select the equation below that would be used to calculate speed. a. Speed = distance ÷ time b. Speed = time ÷ distance c. Speed = velocity ÷ direction d. Speed = time ÷ velocity 6. Complete the sentence summarizing Newton\'s 1st Law of Motion. Word Bank: motion, rest, pushing, outside, velocity An object at rest will remain at \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ , and an object in motion will remain in \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_, unless acted on by a(n) \_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_\_ force. 7. Select the situation below that is the **[best]** example of Newton\'s 1st Law of Motion. a. Motorcycles are able to drive faster than most cars. b. A tow truck takes longer to stop than a small car. c. Textbooks stay at rest on a table until a student comes and picks them up. d. A log floats on the water because it is less dense. 8. A student sets up an investigation to explore Newton's First Law of Motion. They set up a ramp with a wall at the end. They then set a toy panda on top of a toy car and release the car to roll down the ramp. Complete the statements below by circling what you would expect to happen when the car hits the wall at the bottom of the ramp.  When the front of the car hits the wall at the bottom of the ramp, the car will \_\_\_\_\_\_ (stop moving / continue moving forward until an outside force stops it / return to the top of the ramp). However, because the toy panda is not wearing a seat belt or attached to the car, it will \_\_\_\_ (stop moving when the car stops / continue moving forward until an outside force stops it / return to the top of the ramp).
