10 Questions
Which of the following best defines kinematics?
The study of motion and its causes
What is the difference between instantaneous speed and average speed?
Instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at an instant, while average speed is the total distance covered by an object in a certain period of time
How are speed and velocity different in physics?
Speed is a scalar quantity, while velocity is a vector quantity
