  • What are the two types of quantities discussed in the video?
    Scalar and vector
  • What is a scalar quantity?
    It has only magnitude
  • How is speed classified in terms of quantity type?
    Speed is a scalar quantity
  • Give an example of speed.
    A person running at 4 m/s
  • Why is velocity considered a vector quantity?
    It has both magnitude and direction
  • Provide an example of velocity.
    A person cycling 6 m/s east
  • What is the common mistake students make regarding speed and velocity?
    Confusing speed with velocity

    Distance is a scalar quantity
  • What is an example of distance?
    10 meters
  • How is displacement classified in terms of quantity type?
    Displacement is a vector quantity
  • Provide an example of displacement.
    A person running 40 meters east
  • What is the difference between distance and displacement?
    • Distance: Scalar, only magnitude
    • Displacement: Vector, magnitude and direction
  • How do you calculate the speed of a train crossing a bridge?
    Distance divided by time

    55 m/s55 \text{ m/s}
  • How do you calculate velocity using displacement?
    Displacement divided by time
  • What happens to the units when calculating velocity?
    It includes direction
  • What does the symbol 's' represent in the velocity equation?
    Displacement
  • What does the symbol 'd' represent in the speed equation?
    Distance
  • Why do people often use the velocity equation incorrectly?
    They may not have a direction
  • What is average speed?
    Total distance divided by total time

    It varies depending on the medium
  • What factors can affect wind speed?
    Temperature, pressure, and structures
  • What can wind speed vary from on a still day?
    Almost zero m/s
  • What can wind speed exceed on a windy day?
    Faster than a speeding train
