Kinematics describes the motion of objects using displacement, velocity, and acceleration.
True
Match the kinematic term with its definition:
Kinematics ↔️ Study of motion without forces
Displacement ↔️ Change in position
Velocity ↔️ Rate of change of displacement
Acceleration ↔️ Rate of change of velocity
Speed is a scalar quantity that measures the rate at which an object covers
distance
Speed is a scalar quantity that measures the rate at which an object covers
distance
Speed is defined as the distance traveled per unit of
time
Velocity is defined as the rate of
displacement
What does speed measure?
Rate at which distance is covered
What is the average speed of a car that travels 120 miles in 2 hours?
60 mph
Give an example of kinematics involving constant velocity.
A car traveling a distance
Kinematics focuses on motion without considering the
forces
that cause it.
Match the term with its direction and magnitude properties:
Speed ↔️ No direction, yes magnitude
Velocity ↔️ Yes direction, yes magnitude
Speed has direction, while velocity does not.
False
What is the definition of speed?
Rate of distance covered
What is the definition of velocity?
Rate of displacement
Speed indicates how fast an object is moving without specifying its
direction
Velocity is a vector quantity with both magnitude and
direction
What is the definition of acceleration?
Rate of change of velocity
Order the fundamental equations of motion in kinematics:
1️⃣ Displacement-Velocity-Time Equation
2️⃣ Velocity-Time Equation
3️⃣ Velocity-Displacement Equation
In the Displacement-Velocity-Time Equation, `s` represents
displacement
The Velocity-Time Equation includes the
final velocity
of an object.
True
What does kinematics study?
Motion without considering forces
What is the primary focus of kinematics?
Motion without forces
Speed is a
scalar
quantity that measures the rate at which an object covers distance.
Acceleration is a
vector quantity
.
True
The velocity-time equation is
v = u + at
What does the variable 'v' represent in the velocity-time equation?
Final velocity
What are the two components of a vector quantity?
Magnitude and direction
A car traveling at 60 mph north has a velocity of 60 mph in the
northward
direction.
The horizontal displacement equation for a projectile is
x
The range of a projectile is maximized when the launch angle is
45
degrees.
Relative velocity is calculated by adding or subtracting the velocities of two
frames
of reference.
Kinematics is the study of motion without considering the
forces
What is displacement?
Change in position
If a car travels 120 miles in 2 hours, what is its average speed?
60 mph
Give an example that contrasts speed and velocity.
A car traveling north
Speed is a scalar quantity because it has no
direction
.
True
Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both
magnitude
and direction.
True
Match the kinematic term with its definition:
Speed ↔️ Rate of distance covered
Velocity ↔️ Rate of displacement
What two properties does velocity have?
Magnitude and direction
Acceleration is a
vector quantity
with both magnitude and direction.
True
