  • Q9
    9. Imagine a car travelling at a constant speed around a circular racetrack. Is the car accelerating?
    No, because the speed is constant.
    Only if the car speeds up.
    Only if the car slows down.
    Yes, because the direction is changing.

  • Q10
    10. A pendulum swinging back and forth is an example of which types of motion?
    Rotational and circular motion.
    Rectilinear and periodic motion.
    Rectilinear and circular motion.
    Periodic and circular motion.
    30s
  • Q11
    11. What is the key difference between rotational and circular motion?
    The shape of the path the object follows.
    The location of the axis of rotation relative to the object.
    The speed at which the object is moving.
    Whether the motion repeats in equal time intervals.

  • Q12
    12. Two cars travel the same distance, but car A takes twice as long as car B. What is the relationship between their speeds?
    Car A has half the speed of car B.
    The speeds cannot be compared without knowing the exact distances and times.
    Car A and car B have the same speed.
    Car A has twice the speed of car B.

  • Q13
    13. Why is motion considered relative?
    Because the perception of motion depends on the observer's frame of reference.
    Because the speed of an object is always changing.
    Because time is relative.
    Because all objects are constantly in motion.

  • Q14
    14. If an object is moving with a constant velocity, what can be said about its acceleration?
    It must be accelerating at a constant rate.
    Its acceleration is zero.
    Its acceleration is positive.
    Its acceleration is negative.

  • Q15
    15. Why does a taxi charge passengers based on distance rather than displacement?
    Because passengers are more familiar with the concept of distance.
    Because distance reflects the total length of the trip, while displacement only considers the starting and ending points.
    Because displacement is a more complex concept to calculate.
    Because taxis always travel in straight lines.
