c) 10 m/s

d) 30 m/s

d) Time

Short Answer Questions

1. Define displacement and explain how it differs from distance.


•Displacement is the shortest distance between two gaps
•Distance is the length between two gaps but a displacement is the
shortest distance between two gaps.
2. What is the difference between speed and velocity? Give an example
where the speed remains constant but the velocity changes.
•Speed is distance divide by time taken and velocity is displacement
divide by time taken.

•A cyclist’s motion on a circular track is an example of motion in which
speed remains uniform, but the velocity changes.

3. A car starts from rest and accelerates at 4 m/s² for 6 seconds. What is
its final velocity?
Final velocity × Initial velocity
Accelaration=
Time
Final velocity= Accelaration×Tim e
2
Final velocity=4 m s ×6 s
2
Final velocity=24 ms

4. What is the acceleration of an object that moves with uniform velocity?


Explain why.
•Acceleration is = 0
•Because, The acceleration is the rate of change of velocity and when
the object is moving with a uniform speed without a change it won’t
increase or decrease the acceleration.

5. Sketch and describe the shape of a velocity-time graph for an object that
is:

1. An object is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s.


Explain how the object's motion changes as it moves upwards, reaches
its highest point, and falls back down. Include the effects of
acceleration due to gravity.
•V=u-g t
The downwards acceleration is 9.8 m/ s2 pulling the object down wards
after it reaches the highest point an after it was zero at the exact
falling point
V=g t

2. A runner accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 8 m/s in 4


seconds. Calculate the total distance covered by the runner during this time
and discuss the relationship between velocity, time, and acceleration.

Problem-Solving Questions

1. A car travels a straight road with a velocity of 20 m/s. It then uniformly


accelerates at 2 m/s² for 10 seconds. Calculate the car’s final velocity and
the distance it covered during acceleration.

2. A ball rolls down a ramp and accelerates at 3 m/s². If it starts from rest,
how far does it travel in 5 seconds?
