3.

Which of these is NOT a vector quantity?

a)

Velocity

b)

Acceleration

c)

Force

d)

Energy

4.

Which of these is the correct equation for speed?

a)

Speed = time / distance

b)

Speed = distance / time

c)

Speed = time / acceleration

d)

distance = speed / time

5.

A car going at a constant speed in a circle is changing its velocity. Which is the best answer?

a)

False, constant speed is a constant velocity

b)

False, if there no change in displacement at the end, there's no change in velocity.

c)

True, velocity is a vector and has a direction, so changing the direction the car travels in a circle changes the velocity.

d)

True, doing donuts is the definition of velocity.
