Front

What is mass?

Back

Mass is a scalar quantity that measures the amount of matter in an object.

Front

What is velocity?

Back

Velocity is the speed of an object in a specific direction; it is a vector quantity.

Front

What is distance?

Back

Distance is a scalar quantity that represents the total movement of an object, measured in meters.

Front

What are vector quantities?

Back

Vector quantities have both magnitude and direction. Examples include acceleration, force, and velocity.

Front

What is temperature?

Back

Temperature is a scalar quantity that measures the average kinetic energy of particles in a substance.

Front

What is acceleration?

Back

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity per unit time; it is a vector quantity.

Front

What is force?

Back

Force is an interaction that causes an object to change its velocity; it is a vector quantity.

Front

What is the difference between scalar and vector quantities?

Back

Scalar quantities have only magnitude (e.g., mass, distance), while vector quantities have both magnitude and direction (e.g., velocity, force).

Front

How is speed defined?

Back

Speed is the distance traveled per unit of time; it is a scalar quantity.

Front

What is the formula for calculating velocity?

Back

Velocity = Displacement / Time.
