Which of the following is a vector quantity?

  1. Speed

  2. Velocity

  3. Acceleration

  4. Displacement


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity because it has both magnitude and direction.

The displacement of an object is the:

  1. Change in its position

  2. Distance travelled by the object

  3. Time taken by the object to travel

  4. Average velocity of the object


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Displacement is the change in the position of an object from its initial position to its final position.

The acceleration of an object is the:

  1. Rate of change of its velocity

  2. Rate of change of its displacement

  3. Rate of change of its speed

  4. Rate of change of its momentum


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity of an object.

The equation of motion in two dimensions is:

  1. $v = u + at$

  2. $s = ut + 1/2 at^2$

  3. $v^2 = u^2 + 2as$

  4. $s = ut + at^2$


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The equation of motion in two dimensions is $s = ut + 1/2 at^2$.

A projectile is fired from the ground with a velocity of 10 m/s at an angle of 30 degrees with the horizontal. What is the maximum height reached by the projectile?

  1. 5 m

  2. 10 m

  3. 15 m

  4. 20 m


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The maximum height reached by the projectile is given by the equation $h = (u^2 sin^2 \theta)/(2g)$. Substituting the values, we get $h = (10^2 sin^2 30)/(2 * 9.8) = 10 m$.

A ball is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity of 10 m/s. What is the time taken by the ball to reach its maximum height?

  1. 1 s

  2. 2 s

  3. 3 s

  4. 4 s


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The time taken by the ball to reach its maximum height is given by the equation $t = u/g$. Substituting the values, we get $t = 10/9.8 = 2 s$.

A ball is dropped from a height of 100 m. What is the velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground?

  1. 10 m/s

  2. 20 m/s

  3. 30 m/s

  4. 40 m/s


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

The velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground is given by the equation $v = sqrt(2gh)$. Substituting the values, we get $v = sqrt(2 * 9.8 * 100) = 40 m/s$.

A car is moving at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the distance travelled by the car in 1 hour?

  1. 60 km

  2. 120 km

  3. 180 km

  4. 240 km


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The distance travelled by the car in 1 hour is given by the equation $s = vt$. Substituting the values, we get $s = 60 * 1 = 60 km$.

A train is moving at a speed of 90 km/h. What is the time taken by the train to travel a distance of 180 km?

  1. 1 hour

  2. 2 hours

  3. 3 hours

  4. 4 hours


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The time taken by the train to travel a distance of 180 km is given by the equation $t = s/v$. Substituting the values, we get $t = 180/90 = 2 hours$.

A boat is moving at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the distance travelled by the boat in 5 minutes?

  1. 300 m

  2. 600 m

  3. 900 m

  4. 1200 m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The distance travelled by the boat in 5 minutes is given by the equation $s = vt$. Substituting the values, we get $s = 10 * 5 * 60 = 300 m$.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 km/h. What is the time taken by the cyclist to travel a distance of 10 km?

  1. 20 minutes

  2. 30 minutes

  3. 40 minutes

  4. 50 minutes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The time taken by the cyclist to travel a distance of 10 km is given by the equation $t = s/v$. Substituting the values, we get $t = 10/15 = 40/60 = 40 minutes$.

A car is moving at a speed of 60 km/h. What is the distance travelled by the car in 1 hour?

  1. 60 km

  2. 120 km

  3. 180 km

  4. 240 km


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The distance travelled by the car in 1 hour is given by the equation $s = vt$. Substituting the values, we get $s = 60 * 1 = 60 km$.

A train is moving at a speed of 90 km/h. What is the time taken by the train to travel a distance of 180 km?

  1. 1 hour

  2. 2 hours

  3. 3 hours

  4. 4 hours


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

The time taken by the train to travel a distance of 180 km is given by the equation $t = s/v$. Substituting the values, we get $t = 180/90 = 2 hours$.

A boat is moving at a speed of 10 m/s. What is the distance travelled by the boat in 5 minutes?

  1. 300 m

  2. 600 m

  3. 900 m

  4. 1200 m


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The distance travelled by the boat in 5 minutes is given by the equation $s = vt$. Substituting the values, we get $s = 10 * 5 * 60 = 300 m$.

A cyclist is moving at a speed of 15 km/h. What is the time taken by the cyclist to travel a distance of 10 km?

  1. 20 minutes

  2. 30 minutes

  3. 40 minutes

  4. 50 minutes


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The time taken by the cyclist to travel a distance of 10 km is given by the equation $t = s/v$. Substituting the values, we get $t = 10/15 = 40/60 = 40 minutes$.
