Linear Motion Part 1

John walks 5 km east, and then turns around and walks 8 km west. What is John's displacement?

• 3 km; East
• 3 km; West
• 13 km; East
• 13 km; West

Define linear motion?

• Motion for a car

• Motion in a straight line

• Motion which is not straight

• Motion of a wind

Give one example for non-linear motion

• A moving escalator

• Snake sleeping

• A 100m race track

• Ice skating

Distance is a _____________ quantity

• vector

• weight

• scalar

• mass

Distance is a ______________

• time taken to complete the journey

• total velocity archieve

• length measured in specific direction

• total path taken for the whole journey

Here a examples for non linear motion except

• snake movement

• roller coaster

• moving escalator

• spinning top

Give example for uniform motion

• A bouncing ball

• A horse running in a race

• Movement of needle clock

• Ice skate

A student walks 3 blocks south, 4 blocks west, and 3 blocks north. What is the displacement of the

student?

• 4 blocks east

• 4 blocks west

• 10 blocks west

• 10 blocks east

Displacement is

• The resultant straight distance is at the initial position only

• The resultant straight distance is at the final position only

• The resultant straight distance from the start position to the end position

• Resultant straight distance

Scalars are quantities that have a magnitude and direction

• True

• False
