Which of the following is a scalar quantity?
A. Displacement
B. Velocity
C. Distance
D. Acceleration

Distance only has magnitude (how much ground is covered), whereas displacement has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

100

What is speed?

  • A. The rate at which an object changes its direction
  • B. The distance traveled per unit of time 
  • C. The shortest path between two points
  • D. The total displacement of an object
  • B. The distance traveled per unit of time 
100

If acceleration is negative, what is happening to the object?

A. It is speeding up.                        

B. It is slowing down. 

C. It is at rest.

D. It is moving in a straight line.

B. It is slowing down. Deccelerating

200

If an object moves in a straight line and returns to its starting point, what is its displacement?
A. Equal to distance traveled
B. More than distance traveled
C. Less than distance traveled but not zero               D. Zero

D. Zero. Displacement measures the shortest distance from the start to the end point. If the start and end points are the same, displacement is zero, even if the total distance traveled is not.

When an object is at constant speed, it is __________.

A Accelerating                           

 B. Speed remains the same all throughout the travel 

C.  Decelerating      

 D.  Zero speed

B. Speed remains the same all throughout the travel

A rocket accelerates from 50 m/s to 200 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

  • A. 30 m/s²
  • B. 40 m/s² 
  • C. 50 m/s²
  • D. 60 m/s²

a= Vf-Vi/t

200-50/5=30 m/s2

  • A. 9 km 
  • B. 5 km
  • C. 1 km
  • D. 7 km

The total distance is the sum of all paths traveled

  • A. 10 m/s
  • B. 15 m/s 
  • C. 20 m/s
  • D. 25 m/s

v+d/t

=500/25=20 m/s

300

A train moving at 40 m/s slows down to 20 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?

  • A. -2 m/s²
  • B. -4 m/s² 
  • C. -6 m/s²
  • D. -8 m/s²

B. -4 m/s2.

B. The faster car had greater average speed    

C. Both cars had the same velocity       

D. The slower car had greater acceleration

B. The faster car had greater average speed

A roller coaster moves from 0 m/s to 30 m/s in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?

  • A. 2 m/s²
  • B. 3 m/s² 
  • C. 4 m/s²
  • D. 5 m/s²
  • B. 3 m/s²

11. A ball is dropped from a height of 10 meters, bounces up 6 meters, and then falls back down. What is the total distance covered?

  • A. 10 m
  • B. 16 m
  • C. 22 m 
  • D. 6 m

The ball moves:

  1. 10 m down
  2. 6 m up
  3. 6 m down
    Total distance: 22m

  • A. 2 hours
  • B. 3 hours
  • C. 4 hours 
  • D. 5 hours

t=d/v

320/89=4 hours
