A car moves with a constant speed through 150 m in 5 s.What is its speed?

A. 30 m/s

B. 0.033 m/s

C. 750 m/s

D. 0 m/s

Correct Answer
A. 30 m/s

Explanation
The car moves a distance of 150 m in a time of 5 s. To find the speed, we divide the distance by the time, which gives us 150 m /
5 s = 30 m/s. Therefore, the speed of the car is 30 m/s.

A car travels for 1200 km in 20 hours. The details of the journey are shown below.DurationDistance Covered0 - 6 hours400 km6 -
8 hours0 km(at rest)8 - 16 hours600 km16 - 20 hours200 kmCalculate the average speed of the journey?

A. 54.5 km/h

B. 66.67 km/h

C. 60 km/h

D. 63.89 km/h

Correct Answer
C. 60 km/h

Explanation
The average speed of a journey is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. In this case, the car
traveled a total distance of 1200 km in a total time of 20 hours. Therefore, the average speed of the journey would be 1200 km
divided by 20 hours, which equals 60 km/h.

An aeroplane moves with a constant speed of 120 m/s.Find the distance travelled in 1 minute?

A.

120 m
B.

2m

C.

7200 m

D.

0.5 m

Correct Answer
C. 7200 m

Explanation
The distance travelled by the airplane can be calculated by multiplying its speed by the time it takes to travel. In this case, the
speed is given as 120 m/s and the time is 1 minute. Since 1 minute is equal to 60 seconds, the distance travelled would be 120
m/s * 60 s = 7200 m.

Hanafi runs at a constant speed of 3.2 m/s.What distance will he cover in 2 minutes?

A.

384 m

B.

6.4 m

C.

192 m

D.

1.6 m

Correct Answer
A. 384 m

Explanation
Hanafi runs at a constant speed of 3.2 m/s. In 2 minutes, there are 120 seconds. To find the distance covered, we can multiply
the speed by the time. Therefore, 3.2 m/s * 120 s = 384 m.

A bus is parked in the car park. It is not moving.What is its speed?

A.

0 m/s

B.

10 m/s

C.

1 m/s

D.

5 m/s

Correct Answer
A. 0 m/s

Explanation
Since the question states that the bus is parked and not moving, its speed is 0 m/s. Speed is defined as the rate at which an
object changes its position, and if the bus is not changing its position, it means it is stationary and its speed is 0 m/s.

Questions and Answers

1.

______ is a unit of speed:

A.

M/s

B.

C.

Kg

D.

Hr
Correct Answer
A. M/s

Explanation
The correct answer is m/s. The unit m/s represents meters per second, which is a common unit of speed. It measures the
distance traveled in meters divided by the time taken in seconds. This unit is widely used in physics and engineering to express
the velocity of objects or the speed of motion.

The speed at any instant of time is known as

A.

Average speed

B.

Velocity

C.

Given speed

D.

Instantaneous speed

Correct Answer
D. Instantaneous speed

Explanation
The speed at any instant of time is known as instantaneous speed because it refers to the speed of an object at a specific
moment or point in time. Unlike average speed, which is calculated over a given distance and time interval, instantaneous speed
provides information about the object's exact speed at a particular instant. Velocity refers to the speed of an object in a specific
direction, while given speed is not a commonly used term in physics.

If a total distance of 750 m is covered in a time interval of 25 s, the average speed is ______?

A.

3,974 mph

B.
3 mph

C.

30 mph

D.

30 m/s

Correct Answer
D. 30 m/s

Explanation
The average speed is calculated by dividing the total distance traveled by the time taken. In this case, the total distance covered
is 750 m and the time interval is 25 s. By dividing 750 m by 25 s, we get the average speed of 30 m/s.

______________ describes how fast something is going, whereas, __________ describes how fast something is going and in a
certain direction.

A.

Speed, velocity

B.

Rate, speed

C.

Rate, velocity

D.

Speed, acceleration

Correct Answer
A. Speed, velocity

Explanation
Speed refers to how fast an object is moving, regardless of its direction. On the other hand, velocity not only considers the speed
of an object but also takes into account the direction in which it is moving. Therefore, speed describes the magnitude of the
motion, while velocity describes both the magnitude and direction.

Which of the following is a measure of velocity?

A.

30 s

B.

30 South

C.

30 m/s

D.

30 m/s, South

Correct Answer
D. 30 m/s, South

Explanation
The correct answer is 30 m/s, South. Velocity is a measure of the rate at which an object changes its position in a specific
direction. In this case, the answer includes both the magnitude (30 m/s) and the direction (South), which are both necessary to
fully describe the velocity of an object.

If a person walking at 2 m/s for 12 s he/she would travel a distance of ________.

A.

24 m

B.

6m

C.

4m

D.

None of the answers

Correct Answer
A. 24 m

Explanation
If a person is walking at a speed of 2 m/s for 12 seconds, we can calculate the distance traveled by multiplying the speed by the
time. Therefore, the person would travel a distance of 2 m/s * 12 s = 24 m.

How long would it take to travel 50 km traveling at a speed of 10 km/hr?

A.

3 hours

B.

1 hour

C.

5 hours

D.

50 hours

Correct Answer
C. 5 hours

Explanation
At a speed of 10 km/hr, it would take 5 hours to travel 50 km. This can be calculated by dividing the distance (50 km) by the
speed (10 km/hr), which gives the time taken in hours.

The ______ of a distance versus time graph is speed.

A.

Slope

B.

Y-intercept
C.

Origin

D.

None of the answers

Correct Answer
A. Slope

Explanation
The slope of a distance versus time graph represents the rate at which the distance is changing over time. In other words, it
represents the speed at which an object is moving. A steeper slope indicates a higher speed, while a flatter slope indicates a
slower speed. Therefore, the correct answer is slope.

SI unit for speed is the ________.

A.

In/ hour

B.

M/s

C.

Cm/min

D.

None of the answers

Correct Answer
B. M/s

Explanation
The SI unit for speed is meters per second (m/s). This unit is commonly used to measure the rate at which an object covers a
certain distance in a specific amount of time. It is a standard unit in the International System of Units (SI) and is widely used in
scientific and everyday measurements of speed. The other options, such as in/hour and cm/min, are not SI units for speed and
are less commonly used in scientific contexts.

How far would you travel moving at 12 m/s for 3.00 minutes?
A.

36.0 m

B.

2160 m

C.

40.0 m

D.

36.0 miles

Correct Answer
B. 2160 m

Explanation
If you are traveling at a speed of 12 m/s for 3.00 minutes, you can calculate the distance traveled by multiplying the speed by
the time. In this case, 12 m/s multiplied by 180 seconds (3 minutes) equals 2160 meters. Therefore, the correct answer is 2160
