What is the kinematic relationship for velocity in terms of initial velocity, acceleration, and time?
v = u + at
v = u + 1/2 at^2
v = u^2 + 2as
v = u + s
Answer explanation
The correct kinematic relationship for velocity in terms of initial velocity, acceleration, and time is v = u + at.

How can the gradient of a velocity-time graph at a given time be interpreted?
It represents the instantaneous velocity.
It represents the instantaneous acceleration.
It represents the total displacement.
It represents the change in displacement over time.
Answer explanation
The gradient of a velocity-time graph at a given time represents the instantaneous acceleration.

What does the area under a velocity-time graph represent?
The change in acceleration.
The instantaneous velocity.
The total displacement.
The average velocity.
Answer explanation
The area under a velocity-time graph represents the total displacement, not the change in acceleration, instantaneous velocity, or average velocity.

What is torque commonly referred to as?
The linear effect of a force
The turning effect of a force
The stopping effect of a force
The accelerating effect of a force
Answer explanation

What does the torque T = Fr represent?
Torque equals force times radius
Torque equals force divided by radius
Torque equals force plus radius
Torque equals force minus radius
Answer explanation
Torque equals force times radius because torque is the product of the force applied and the distance from the axis of rotation (radius).

What happens when an unbalanced torque acts on an object?
It produces a linear acceleration
It produces an angular deceleration
It produces an angular acceleration
It has no effect on the object
Answer explanation
When an unbalanced torque acts on an object, it produces an angular acceleration, causing the object to rotate faster or slower depending on the direction of the torque.

What is the moment of inertia a measure of in an object?
Its resistance to linear acceleration
Its resistance to angular deceleration
Its resistance to angular acceleration
Its resistance to velocity changes
Answer explanation
The moment of inertia is a measure of an object's resistance to angular acceleration, not linear acceleration, angular deceleration, or velocity changes.
