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.

💡 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

💡 Hint: Displacement considers direction; distance does not.

Challenge Problems

Push your limits with advanced challenges

Challenge 1 Hard

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.

💡 Hint: Separate the calculations for distance and displacement.

Challenge 2 Hard

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

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