(91).jpg "Quiz: Trivia Questions On Motion! Test")
Quiz: trivia questions on motion! Motion is seen as the change of position of something at a given rate over time. Motion exists in four types of speed, which are rotary, oscillating, linear, and reciprocating. Motion is seen as a product of distance divided by time. In the quiz provided, you will be expected to show just how much you know about motion and work out some mathematical problems. Do give it a try!
