How is distance defined in physics?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total movement of an object, regardless of direction, measured in meters (m) or kilometers (km).

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit of time, measured in meters per second squared (m/s²).

Front

What distinguishes velocity from speed?

Back

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both the speed of an object and its direction of motion, while speed is a scalar quantity that only measures how fast an object is moving.

Front

What is the unit of measurement for distance?

Back

The unit of measurement for distance is typically meters (m) or kilometers (km).

Front

What is the formula for calculating speed?

Back

Speed is calculated using the formula: Speed = Distance / Time.

Front

What is the difference between average speed and instantaneous speed?

Back

Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken, while instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a specific moment in time.

Front

How is velocity calculated?

Back

Velocity is calculated using the formula: Velocity = Displacement / Time.

Front

What is the significance of direction in velocity?

Back

Direction is significant in velocity because it indicates the path along which an object is moving, making velocity a vector quantity.

Front

What are the units for measuring velocity?

Back

Velocity is measured in meters per second (m/s) or kilometers per hour (km/h).
