A) 31.256
B) 31.3
C) 31.26
D) 31.25
4. What is the result of subtracting 5.32 from 12.567, rounded to the correct number of significant
figures?
(A) 7.247
(B) 7.25
(C) 7.2
(D) 7.3
5. What is the product of 4.56 and 0.0032, rounded to the correct number of significant figures?
(A) 0.014592
(B) 0.0146
(C) 0.015
(D) 0.0150
6. Assertion (A): The sum of 123.45 and 6.7 should be rounded to two decimal places.
Reason (R): In addition, the result should have the same number of decimal places as the
number with the fewest decimal places.
7. Assertion (A): When multiplying 8.923 by 0.47, the result should be rounded to two significant
figures.
Reason (R): The number 0.47 has the least number of significant figures among the numbers
being multiplied.
8. particle moves along a straight line with an equation of motion given by s(t)=5t + 2t 2, where s is
in meters and t is in seconds.
(a) What is the velocity of the particle at t=3 seconds?
(b) What is the acceleration of the particle at t=3 seconds?
9. A particle moves along a straight line and its velocity is given by v(t)=4t3 −2t2+3t−1.
(a) What is the acceleration of the particle at t=2 seconds?
(b) What is the displacement of the particle at t=2 seconds if s(0)=0?
10. A stone is dropped from a height of 45 meters. Calculate:
(a) The time it takes for the stone to reach the ground.
(b) The velocity of the stone just before it hits the ground.
11. A ball is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 5 m/s from a height of 30 meters. Calculate:
(a) The time it takes for the ball to reach the ground.
(b) The velocity of the ball just before it hits the ground
12. An object is thrown upwards with a velocity of 20 m/s. Plot its velocity-time graph for the first 5
seconds, considering gravity.
13. A ball is dropped from a height of 100 meters. Calculate the time it takes to hit the ground and
plot the velocity-time graph for the fall.
14. An object is thrown downward with an initial velocity of 10 m/s from a height of 50 meters.
Calculate the time to hit the ground and plot the speed-time graph.
