Question 2: True or False
2.1 In the particle model, the object in motion is represented by a series of single points.

2.2 A time interval is the difference between two locations.

2.3 The zero point in a coordinate system is called the resultant.
2.4 A scalar is a measurement that does not have a direction.
2.5 A vector has both location and direction.

Question 3:

3.1 a) This question has two parts. First, answer a). Then, answer b).
A girl rides her bike at 15 m/s for 20 s.
How far does she travel in that time? _______________________ m

b) How fast would the girl in the previous problem have been traveling if she had
covered the same distance in 11 seconds? ________________ m/s

Question 4:

Refer to the table below about a moving object to answer the following questions.
