Cards (36)

  • What are the two types of quantities discussed in the video?
    Scalar and vector
  • What is a scalar quantity?
    It only has magnitude
  • Why is speed considered a scalar quantity?
    Because it only conveys magnitude
  • What makes velocity a vector quantity?
    It has both magnitude and direction
  • What is distance classified as?
    Scalar quantity
  • How is displacement different from distance?
    Displacement has direction
  • How do you calculate the speed of an object?
    • Speed = Distance / Time
    • Example: 550 m / 10 s = 55 m/s
  • How do you calculate velocity using displacement?
    Velocity = Displacement / Time
  • What does the symbol 's' represent in the speed equation?
    Speed
  • What does the symbol 's' represent in the velocity equation?
    Displacement
  • What does 'd' stand for in the speed equation?
    Distance
  • What does 't' represent in both speed and velocity equations?
    Time
  • What is the benefit of using the velocity equation?
    It allows for negative velocity
  • What is average speed?
    Total distance divided by total time
  • What is the average walking speed of a person?
    1.5 m/s
  • What is the average running speed of a person?
    3 m/s
  • What is the average cycling speed of a person?
    6 m/s
  • What is the average speed of a car on the main road?
    25 m/s
  • What is the speed of a fast train?
    55 m/s
  • What is the speed of planes?
    Exceed 250 m/s
  • What is the speed of sound waves in air?
    330 m/s
  • How does the speed of sound change in different mediums?
    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
  • What is the natural movement of air called?
    Wind
  • What is the length of the bridge the train crosses?
    550 meters
  • How long does it take the train to cross the bridge?
    10 seconds
  • What happens to the speed of objects during their journey?
    It can vary
  • What do you need to calculate average speed or velocity?
    Total distance or displacement and total time
  • What is the significance of the average speed or velocity value calculated?
    It represents the overall speed during the journey
  • What is the average speed of sound in air?
    330 m/s
  • What is the relationship between speed and distance in the context of the video?
    Speed is calculated from distance and time
  • How does temperature affect wind speed?
    It can influence the speed of air movement
  • What is the effect of atmospheric pressure on wind speed?
    It can change the speed of air movement
  • How do structures like buildings affect wind speed?
    They can alter the natural movement of air
