1
Q
What is vector and examples
A
Vector has both magnitude and direction
Examples include acceleration, displacement, velocity, force
2
Q
What is a scalar and examples
A
Scalar has only magnitude
Examples include distance, speed, energy, temperature, mass, pressure
3
Q
What is the equation for average speed
A
Average speed= Distance / Time
4
Q
What does gradient mean in a distance time graph
A
Speed
5
Q
What does gradient mean in a displacement time graph
A
Velocity
6
Q
What is the equation for acceleration
A
Change in velocity / Time
7
Q
What is uniform acceleration
A
When acceleration is constant and velocity changes by the same amount per unit time
8
Q
What is velocity
A
Speed in a given direction
9
