Grade 8 Physics Motion Quiz

This document contains a quiz with multiple choice and calculation questions about velocity-time graphs, speed-time graphs, and conversions between metric units of distance, time, and speed. The quiz has 4 sections - the first involves interpreting motions from a velocity-time graph, the second calculates distances and average speed from a speed-time graph, the third converts between metric units, and the fourth involves choosing the best answer for questions related to distance, time, and speed graphs.
