Card 1Basic Concepts

What is the difference between distance and displacement?

Answer

Distance is the total path length covered by an object (scalar quantity). Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final positions in a specific direction (vector quantity). Distance …

Card 2Types of Motion

Define uniform motion and give an example.

Answer

Uniform motion is when an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. The speed remains constant. Example: A car moving at a constant speed of 60 km/h on a straight highway, covering 60 …

Card 3Types of Motion

What is non-uniform motion? Provide a real-life example.

Answer

Non-uniform motion occurs when an object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time. The speed varies. Example: A car moving through city traffic - sometimes fast on clear roads, sometimes sl…

Card 4Speed and Velocity

Define speed and write its formula.

Answer

Speed is the rate of motion of an object, defined as distance traveled per unit time. It is a scalar quantity. Formula: Speed = Distance/Time or v = s/t. SI unit: m/s or ms⁻¹…

Card 5Speed and Velocity

What is velocity? How is it different from speed?

Answer

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction. It is a vector quantity. Difference: Speed has only magnitude (scalar), while velocity has both magnitude and direction (vector). Velocity c…

Card 6Speed and Velocity

Calculate average speed: A car travels 150 km in 3 hours.

Answer

Given: Distance = 150 km, Time = 3 hours Average speed = Total distance/Total time Average speed = 150 km/3 h = 50 km/h Therefore, the average speed is 50 km/h.

Card 7Acceleration

Define acceleration and write its formula.

Answer

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity. It measures how quickly velocity changes with time. Formula: a = (v-u)/t, where v = final velocity, u = initial velocity, t = time. SI unit: m/s² or ms⁻…

Card 8Acceleration

What is uniform acceleration? Give an example.

Answer

Uniform acceleration occurs when velocity changes by equal amounts in equal intervals of time. The acceleration remains constant. Example: A freely falling object under gravity experiences uniform acc…
