Question 1

What is the main difference between speed and velocity?

  • Speed is a vector; velocity is a scalar.
  • Speed is a scalar; velocity is a vector.
  • Both are the same.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Consider that direction is important in defining velocity.

Question 2

True or False: Average velocity can be calculated by dividing total distance by total time.

  • True
  • False

πŸ’‘ Hint: Displacement considers direction; distance does not.

Question 1

A train travels 180 km to the east in 2 hours and then 120 km to the west in 1 hour. Calculate its average speed and average velocity for the entire journey.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Separate the calculations for distance and displacement.

Question 2

An object moves in a circular path at a constant speed of 5 m/s. Explain why its velocity is not constant.

πŸ’‘ Hint: Remember, for velocity to remain the same, both speed and direction must remain unchanged.
