The document is a summative test for 7th-grade science focused on the concepts of distance and displacement. It includes true or false statements about these concepts and a series of problem-solving questions requiring students to calculate distance and displacement based on given scenarios. The test assesses students' understanding of key definitions, formulas, and applications related to motion.

SUMMATIVE TEST
DISTANCE & DISPLACEMENT

2. TEST I
TRUE OR FALSE
Write TRUE, if the statement is correct
and FALSE, if the statement is wrong.

3. 1. Distance is the length of the
shortest path travelled by an object.
TRUE FALSE

4. 2. Displacement includes both
distance and direction of the object’s
position.
TRUE FALSE

5. 3. The displacement is equal to zero
when an objects initial position and
final position is the same.
TRUE FALSE

6. 4. The shortest distance between the
initial and final position of the object
is called displacement.
TRUE FALSE

7. 5. Kilogram (kg) is a unit for distance.
TRUE FALSE

8. 6. Motion is a continues change in
position with respect to a reference
point for a particular time interval.
TRUE FALSE

9. 7. A car drives 8m North. It’s distance
and displacement would be the same.
TRUE FALSE

10. 8. Reference point is a place or object
used for comparison to determine if
another object is in motion.
TRUE FALSE

11. 9. If an object travelled in a straight
line and then go back to it’s starting
point. It’s displacement is equal to
zero.
TRUE FALSE

12. 10. Distance is a scalar quantity and
displacement is a vector quantity.
TRUE FALSE

13. TEST II
Problem Solving
Write the formula and show the solution.
DO NOT COPY the problem.

14. 1. Scotts travels North 5
miles and then goes
west 3 miles before
coming straight back
south 5 miles. What is
his distance and
displacement?
5 miles
3 miles
5 miles
2. Bill runs 400 meters
to Andy’s house, turns
around, and runs 400
meters back home.
What is Bill’s distance
and displacement?
400 m 400 m

15. 3. Ana walks east for 13
m, stops for a break,
and then walks the
same direction for 8 m
before she stops. What
is Ana’s distance and
displacement?
8 m
13 m
4. The cheetah chase
the deer that runs 8.5
kilometers West, then
turns 5.3 kilometers
south. What is the
distance and
displacement of the
cheetah?
5.3 km
8.5 km

16. 1. Scotts travels North 12.3 miles and then goes west
13.5 miles before coming straight back south 12.3
miles. What is his distance and displacement?
2. Bill runs 17.2 meters to Andy’s house, turns
around, and runs 17.2 meters back home. What is
Bill’s distance and displacement?

17. 3. Ana walks east for 9.34 m, stops for a break, and
then walks the same direction for 3.28 m before she
stops. What is Ana’s distance and displacement?
4. The cheetah chase the deer that runs 8.5
kilometers West, then turns 5.3 kilometers south.
What is the distance and displacement of the
cheetah?
