Q. 6 A child is pushing a shopping cart at a speed of 2.0 m/s. How long will it take
this child to push the cart down an aisle with a length of 20.0 m?

Q. 7 A driver travels with average speed of 100 km/h. for 5.0 Hours. How far he
drove?

Q. 8 Compare scalar quantities and vector quantities. Give two examples for
each.

Scalar quantity Vector quantity

Has magnitude but no direction Has both magnitude and direction
Ex. Distance – speed - mass Ex. Displacement – Velocity - Force
