1. 5m due south
2. As the point at the free end of the minute hand is describing a semi-circle
Distance =half of the perimeter=πr= 7 π c.m. Displacement = diameter =2 x 7cm =
14c.m.
3. Scalar quantities are physical quantities that have only magnitude and no
direction. Examples of scalar quantities are speed and temperature123.Vector
quantities are physical quantities that have both magnitude and direction. Examples
of vector quantities are force and velocity12.Other examples of scalar and vector
quantities are:
Scalar: Mass, density, energy, distance3
Vector: Acceleration, displacement, angular velocity2
4. The magnitude of average velocity of an object is equal to its average speed
when the object's motion occurs along a straight line and in the same direction12.
This happens when an object moves along a straight line in the same direction
(without turning back)2. The magnitude of average speed and average velocity are
equal when the total distance covered is equal to the displacement3. If velocity is
constant, then displacement and distance will be equal and the magnitude of average
velocity is equal to average speed4.
5. a) uniformly accelerated- initial velocity + final velocity / 2
