Questions and Answers

What is the difference between speed and velocity?

  • Velocity is measured in meters per second, speed is measured in kilometers per hour
  • Speed includes direction, velocity does not
  • Velocity includes direction, speed does not
  • Speed is a scalar quantity, velocity is a vector quantity (correct)

What does a displacement-time graph represent?

  • Change in position of an object (correct)
  • Distance traveled by an object
  • Acceleration of an object
  • Change in velocity of an object

How can you determine if a body is at rest from a velocity-time graph?

  • By a horizontal line at zero velocity (correct)
  • By a straight line with positive slope
  • By a vertical line at constant velocity
  • By a curve with negative slope
