by Ron Kurtus (updated 9 January 2023)

Take this Mini-Quiz to check your understanding of the lesson material.

1. What happens when a moving object is made to change direction?

It is accelerating

It speeds up

You can't change the direction of a moving object

2. What is instantaneous acceleration?

Change in velocity at an instant in time

Change in acceleration at an instant in time

Average velocity divided by average acceleration

3. When does constant acceleration occur?

When there is no change in velocity

When an object stops moving

When velocity changes at a regular rate

If you got all three correct, you are on your way to becoming a Champion in Physics. If you had problems, you had better look over the material again.
