1. Which of the following best defines linear velocity?
The total distance covered by an object.
The change in position of an object over time, including direction.
The rate at which an object changes its speed.
The force acting on an object.
2. A car travels 100 meters east in 10 seconds. What is its average velocity?
10 m/s
10 m/s east
1000 m/s
1000 m/s east
1. Speed and velocity are interchangeable terms.
True
False
2. An object can have a constant speed but changing velocity.
True
False
1. Linear velocity is a quantity, meaning it has both magnitude and direction.
2. The formula for average velocity is total divided by total time.
1. A runner completes a 400-meter race in 50 seconds. What is their average speed? Is this the same as their average velocity? Explain.
2. Describe a scenario where an object has zero velocity but non-zero speed.
3. A car travels northward for 2 hours at an average speed of 60 km/h, then turns around and travels southward for 1 hour at an average speed of 70 km/h. What is the car's average velocity for the entire trip?
