Measurement and Motion in Physical Science Quiz

Meter is the SI unit of distance.

Speed is calculated by dividing distance traveled by the time taken.

Newton is the SI unit of force.

Distance is a scalar quantity as it only has magnitude and no direction.

Second is the SI unit of time.

Mass is a measure of an object's inertia, representing its resistance to changes in motion.

Acceleration has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken.

Uniform motion is when an object travels with constant speed in a straight line.

Displacement is the change in position and is calculated as the difference between final and initial velocities.

Average velocity is calculated by dividing displacement by the time taken.

The slope of a distance-time graph represents the object's velocity.

Average speed is calculated by dividing total distance by total time.

At the highest point, the ball's acceleration is equal to the acceleration due to gravity, directed downward.

Velocity is a vector quantity, indicating both speed and direction, whereas speed is a scalar quantity.

Acceleration is the change in velocity divided by the time taken.

Work is done when a force is applied to move an object over a distance.

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
