Here are the answers for each question:
Question 1 A) Which answer best describes displacement?
- Correct answer: Displacement is a vector quality showing total length of an area traveled by a particular object. (Note: This is slightly incorrect. The best wording should be "Displacement is a vector quantity that refers to the change in position of an object from its initial point to its final point." However, since this option is not provided, the closest option is the one above.)
Question 2 A) Which sentence reflects the correct statement regarding distance and displacement when considering the motion of the nine ball?
- Correct answer: The nine ball traveled a distance of 7 meters and was displaced by 1 meter.
Question 3 A) What is velocity?
- Correct answer: Velocity is a vector quantity that tells the distance an object has traveled over a period of time. (Note: While this option might be misleading, since it usually indicates displacement over time, this is the closest option available.)
Question 4 A) Imagine a time-position graph where the velocity of an object is constant. What will be observed on the graph concerning the slope of the line segment as well as the velocity of the object?
- Correct answer: The slope of the line is equal to zero and the object will be stationary.
Question 5 A) Select the option that best summarizes the reason for the use of position-time graphs when studying physical science.
- Correct answer: Position-time graphs show the relationship between the position of an object (shown on the x-axis) and the time (shown on the y-axis) to show displacement.
