What is 58 g?
Motion of a car if the line on the distance-time graph is horizontal.
What is not moving?
Nikki's total displacement if he drives 4 miles east from his house to pick up his friend Dave, and then drive 2 more miles east to school.
What is 6 miles?
The momentum of a 1,234 kg vehicle traveling at a velocity of 56 km/h.
What is 69,104 kgxkm/h?

What is moving at constant speed away from the origin?
This is described as a relationship between (product of) mass and velocity.
What is momentum?
A system of objects that are not moving with respect to one another.
What are reference points?
The formula for calculating momentum.
What is p=mv?
Motion of a car if the line on a distance-time graph is a straight line going down.
What is moving at constant speed back toward the origin?
Monique's total displacement if she walks 2 blocks east to her friend Carla's house, then 4 blocks west (past her own house) to her friend Kate's house.
What is 2 blocks?
