    A. 8 seconds

    B. 8 minutes

    C. 8 hours

    D. 8 days

    MOTION AND FORCES


    7. What does speed measure?

    8. Complete the word equation below:

    Distance equals speed multiplied by


    9. If a fighter jet flies at 540 mile per hour, how many miles does it travel in a minute?

    to 500 kts, as indicated by the arrows?

    12. If you hit a cotton ball and a golf ball with a golf club using the same force, which ball
    would accelerate the most? Circle the correct answer.

    A. They would accelerate equally but the golf ball would travel further.

    B. The golf ball because it has more inertia.

    C. The cotton ball because it has less mass.
