What is the equation to calculate displacement?

Displacement = Initial Velocity + Final Velocity

Displacement = Final Velocity - Initial Velocity

Displacement = Time * Velocity

Displacement = Distance / Time

1 answered

#11

1 answered

#14

If a ball is thrown vertically upwards, what is its acceleration at the highest point of its trajectory?

9.8 m/s² downward

9.8 m/s² upward

0 m/s²

Depends on the initial velocity

#15

What is the difference between velocity and speed?

Velocity has direction while speed does not.

Velocity is scalar while speed is vector.

Velocity is always positive while speed can be negative.

There is no difference between velocity and speed.

#16

A car accelerates uniformly from rest to a velocity of 20 m/s in 10 seconds. What is its acceleration?

2 m/s²

5 m/s²

10 m/s²

20 m/s²

#17

In which of the following cases is work done on an object?

Pushing a stationary wall

Holding a book at arm's length

Climbing stairs at constant speed

Lifting a box off the ground

#18

What is the relationship between velocity and acceleration?

They are directly proportional

They are inversely proportional

Velocity is the derivative of acceleration

Acceleration is the derivative of velocity
