Question 1

Question

Which is a vector quantity?

a
velocity
b
speed
Question 2
What is the difference between distance and displacement?

a
Distance is measured in feet. Displacement is measured in meters
b
Distance is a measure of length of travel. Displacement is the measure of the time it takes to move that length
c
Distance is the difference between how quickly you move between two points. Displacement is the average of that motion
d
Distance is the length of travel. Displacement is the straight line distance between the starting point and the ending point
Question 3
Choose all of the following that represent scalars.

a
mass
b
position
c
velocity
d
time
e
acceleration
f
volume
Question 4
Which of the following is the scalar value?

a
Distance
b
Displacement

Answer 1

Question 1:
Which is a vector quantity?
Answer: a) velocity (Velocity has both magnitude and direction, whereas speed only has magnitude.)

---

Question 2:
What is the difference between distance and displacement?
Answer: d) Distance is the length of travel. Displacement is the straight line distance between the starting point and the ending point. (Distance is the total path length traveled, whereas displacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position.)

Question 3:
Choose all of the following that represent scalars.
Answer:
a) mass
d) time
f) volume
(Scalars are quantities that have only magnitude and no direction, while the other options represent vector quantities.)

Question 4:
Which of the following is the scalar value?
Answer: a) Distance (Distance is a scalar quantity, while displacement is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.)
