Which of these is a vector quantity?
A car covers 120 km in 2 hours. What is its average speed?
A body starts from rest and reaches 20 m/s in 5 s. What is its acceleration?
The slope of a distance-time graph gives:
An object falls freely from rest for 3 s. What is its speed at the end? (g = 10 m/s2)
The area under a speed-time graph gives:
1. B, 2. B, 3. D, 4. C, 5. B, 6. A
Velocity has both magnitude and direction. Speed, distance and time have only magnitude.
Average speed = distance / time = 120 / 2 = 60 km/h.
a = (v - u) / t = (20 - 0) / 5 = 4 m/s2.
On a distance-time graph, slope = change in distance / change in time, which is speed.
v = g t = 10 x 3 = 30 m/s.
Area under a speed-time graph equals the distance travelled.
