Kinematics Revision

Total distance an object travels with direction.

• Displacement

• Distance

• Path

• Velocity

What is the formula to calculate the speed of a car?

• S = time/distance

• S = distance/time

• S = distance x time

• S = time x distance

In what way is velocity different from speed ?

• Velocity is measured in SI unit.

• Velocity is measured in a specified direction.

• Velocity means the distance divided by time.

• Velocity is measured horizontally. 

When an object starts from rest, what is its original velocity?

• Depends on the problem

• 0

• Always positive

• Always negative

What is the unit of acceleration?

• g/cm³

• m/s

• m/s²

• N/m

The three balls shown in the diagram were dropped from a bench. Assume the air resistance acting on the balls is negligible. Which balls had the same acceleration? (Hint: under same gravity)

• Aluminum, lead and wood

• Aluminium and lead

• Aluminium and wood

• Lead and wood
