Cards (34)

  • What is the difference between a vector and a scalar quantity?
    Vector has magnitude and direction, scalar has only magnitude
  • Velocity is a scalar quantity.
    False
  • If a car travels 50 km east, its displacement is 50 km east
  • What is displacement measured in?
    Meters
  • Acceleration is measured in meters per second squared
  • If a car travels 100 km east and then 50 km west, its total displacement is 50 km east.
  • What is the only force acting on an object in projectile motion?
    Gravity
  • A ball thrown at an angle of \(\theta = 45^\circ\) will cover a certain range
  • Match the vector quantity with its definition:
    Velocity ↔️ Rate of change of displacement
    Acceleration ↔️ Rate of change of velocity
    Displacement ↔️ Change in position
  • What does constant acceleration in one dimension mean?
    Acceleration remains constant along a straight line
  • Constant acceleration in one dimension means the acceleration of an object remains constant along a straight line
  • The SUVAT equation for final velocity is v = u + at</latex>
  • The SUVAT equation for displacement is s=s =ut+ ut +12at2 \frac{1}{2}at^{2}, where uu represents initial velocity
  • What is the acceleration of a car that goes from rest to 20 m/s in 5 seconds?
    4m / s24 \, \text{m / s}^{2}
  • To solve projectile motion problems, you analyze the horizontal and vertical components separately.
  • In projectile motion, the horizontal component experiences uniform motion, meaning constant velocity
  • Match the vertical motion equation with its formula:
    v_{y}</latex> ↔️ v0ygtv_{0y} - gt
    yy ↔️ v0yt12gt2v_{0y}t - \frac{1}{2}gt^{2}
    vy2v_{y}^{2} ↔️ v0y22gyv_{0y}^{2} - 2gy
  • What is the horizontal component of velocity for a ball thrown at 25 m/s at 30 degrees?
    21.65m / s21.65 \, \text{m / s}
  • What is the maximum height reached by a ball thrown with an initial vertical velocity of 12.5 m/s?
    8.0m8.0 \, \text{m}
  • A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction
  • A scalar quantity has only magnitude and no direction.
  • Match the quantity type with its example:
    Vector ↔️ Velocity
    Scalar ↔️ Time
  • What is the displacement if a car travels 50 km east?
    50 \, \text{km} \, \text{east}</latex>
  • Displacement, velocity, and acceleration are all vector quantities.
  • Velocity is defined as the rate of change of displacement
  • What is the total displacement of a car that travels 100 km east and 50 km west?
    50kmeast50 \, \text{km} \, \text{east}
  • Projectile motion occurs when an object is launched into the air and experiences only gravity.
  • What does the term "range" refer to in projectile motion?
    Horizontal distance
  • What type of acceleration is assumed in the SUVAT equations?
    Constant
  • A car accelerating at 2m / s22 \, \text{m / s}^{2} for 5 seconds reaches a final velocity of 10 m/s.
  • The vertical component of projectile motion is affected by gravity.
  • What is the time to reach maximum height for a ball thrown with an initial vertical velocity of 12.5 m/s?
    1.27s1.27 \, \text{s}
  • Match the kinematic equation with its formula:
    Final velocity ↔️ v=v =u+ u +at at
    Displacement ↔️ s=s =ut+ ut +12at2 \frac{1}{2}at^{2}
    Velocity-Displacement ↔️ v2=v^{2} =u2+ u^{2} +2as 2as
  • What is the acceleration of a car that starts from rest and reaches 20 m/s in 5 seconds?
    4m / s24 \, \text{m / s}^{2}
