Questions and Answers

Explain the difference between displacement and distance.

Displacement is the straight line distance and direction between the initial and final positions of an object, while distance is the total length covered by an object in its motion.

Differentiate between velocity and speed.

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the magnitude and direction of an object's motion, while speed is a scalar quantity that only includes the magnitude of an object's motion.

Define acceleration and deceleration.

Acceleration is the rate at which an object changes its velocity, while deceleration is the negative acceleration that occurs when an object slows down.

What is the formula to calculate velocity?

<p>The formula to calculate velocity is v = d/t, where v represents velocity, d represents displacement, and t represents time.</p> Signup and view all the answers

Define force and contrast balanced and unbalanced forces.

<p>Force is a push or pull that can change the state of motion of an object. Balanced forces are forces that cancel each other out, resulting in no change in motion, while unbalanced forces are forces that cause a change in motion.</p> Signup and view all the answers
