Test I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE- Instruction: Write T if the statement is true. If the statement is false,
underline the word or phrases that made it incorrect, then write the correct answer.
______ 1. Velocity and speed are the same thing.
_______2. State whether given statement is True or False.
_______ 3. Very short distances should be measured in kilometers.
_______ 4. Distance is less important than direction in describing motion.
_______ 5. Words that describe direction include back and forth.
_______ 6. Speed is an example of a vector.
_______ 7. A horizontal line on a distance-graph represents a speed of zero.
_______8. Distance equals speed divided by time.
_______9. If an object’s speed changes so does its velocity.
______10. Calculating acceleration is complicated when both speed and direction are changing.

Test II. MULTIPLE CHOICE- Instruction: Write the correct letter of the answer for each question

Test III Instruction: Complete the statements by writing the appropriate words in the blank. Choose your
answer from the box.

A gradual change of the distance between dots in the ticker tape that gets smaller means the object is slowing
down which indicates that the object's motion is 1.__________ If the distance between dots gradually gets
longer, it means the object is speeding up or 2.___________.
A ticker-tape chart can be converted into a motion graph. On a displacement-time graph, the slope is equal to
the 3.__________ of the object and the slope of a straight line is constant. Straight line denotes 4.__________
velocities while curved line has changing slopes which denote acceleration. A 5.__________ slope indicates
motion in the positive direction while a negative slope indicates motion in the negative direction. A
6.__________ slopes imply a state of rest. The 7.__________ of the graph also determines how fast or slow
the motion is. A steeper slope indicates a 8.__________ velocity while smaller slope indicates slower velocity.
Lastly, on a velocity-time graph, zero slopes indicate motion with 9.__________velocity, a positive slope
indicates an increase in velocity in the positive direction; and a 10.__________slope indicates velocity in the
negative direction.
VELOCITY FASTER DISPLACEMENT
ACCELERATING CONSTANT DECELERATING
SLOWER SPEED ZERO
NEGATIVE POSITE SLOPE
