I. MODIFIED TRUE OR FALSE. Write TRUE if the statement is true. If it is false, change the underlined word with the
word that will make the statement true. Write your answer on the space provided before each number.
1. An object is in motion if its position DOES NOT CHANGE relative to a reference point.
2. The DISTANCE an object moves is the actual length of its path, while its DISPLACEMENT is the
shortest distance between its initial position and final position.
3. The measurement 2 meters to the south describes the DISPLACEMENT of an object.
4. SPEED is a measure of the distance travelled by an object per unit of time while VELOCITY is
the speed and direction of a moving object.
5. The measurement 15 m/s tells you the VILOCITY of an object.
6. The measurement 67 m describes the SPEED of an object.
7. DIGITAL TIMER is a device used to measure instantaneous speed of a vehicle.
8. ACCELERATION is the rate at which velocity changes.
9. You can calculate acceleration by dividing the change in velocity by the change in DISTANCE​
