Kinematics and Vector Operations Quiz

Scalar quantities have magnitude only, and distance is a scalar quantity.

Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction, and displacement is a vector quantity.

The acceleration due to gravity on Earth's surface is approximately 9.8 m/s².

Radial motion is not a distinct type of motion; it generally refers to motion along a radius.

Velocity is measured in meters per second.

Average velocity is the change in displacement divided by the change in time.

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by time.

Displacement is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions, calculated as the square root of the sum of squares of individual displacements.

At the highest point, the ball momentarily stops moving upward, resulting in zero velocity.

Displacement is the straight-line distance between the initial and final positions, calculated as 155 km.

Resultant magnitude of vectors is found using the vector addition, which yields 7 units in this case.

If an object is slowing down while moving in a straight line, its velocity can be zero while experiencing acceleration in the opposite direction.

Resultant magnitude is calculated using the vector addition formula, resulting in √109N.

Orthogonal vectors have a dot product of zero.

In circular motion, acceleration is directed towards the center, known as centripetal acceleration.
