Correct Answer: C. 3 m/s
Explanation:
Displacement is 14-2 = 12 m.
Average velocity is 12/4 = 3 m/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. 5 m/s
Explanation:
Average speed uses total distance.
400/80 = 5 m/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. 0 m/s
Explanation:
The runner returns to the starting point, so displacement is zero.
Average velocity is therefore zero.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. 12 m/s
Explanation:
Use v=u+at with u=0.
V=0+3×4 = 12 m/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. 17 m/s
Explanation:
Use v=u+at.
V=5+2×6 = 17 m/s.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. -5 m/s²
Explanation:
Acceleration is change in velocity divided by time.
(5-20)/3 = -5 m/s².
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. For every action force, there is an equal and opposite reaction force
Explanation:
Interaction forces occur in pairs on different bodies.
They are equal in magnitude and opposite in direction.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. The gravitational force acting on a mass
Explanation:
Weight depends on gravitational field strength.
Mass remains constant while weight may change with location.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: C. The contact force perpendicular to a surface
Explanation:
A surface exerts a normal force on an object in contact with it.
Its magnitude is not always equal to weight.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: D. A force opposing relative motion or tendency of motion between surfaces
Explanation:
Friction acts tangentially at a contact surface.
It may be static or kinetic.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: A. Total displacement divided by total time
Explanation:
Average velocity is a vector based on net displacement.
A round trip can have zero average velocity.
Choose an option to check your answer.
Correct Answer: B. Velocity
Explanation:
Slope gives change in displacement per unit time.
That is the definition of velocity.
