Kinematics and Equations Learning 2
What is vibratory motion?
Answer: The to and fro motion of a body about it's mean position is said to be vibratory motion. For example motion of pendulum of clock, children playing on see-saw etc.
What are scalar quantities?
Answer: Quantities which can be described completely by their magnitude are called scalars. For example 100 K temperature, 10 s time etc.
Why vectors cannot be described by only magnitude?
Answer: Vectors are the quantities which are described by magnitude and direction both. If we take only magnitude then a vector will be incomplete and won't give full information. For example 10 N force acting towards East.
What is difference between distance and displacement?
Answer: Distance is defined as the length of separation between two points while displacement is termed as the shortest distance between two points.
Define uniform speed
Answer: If a body covers equal distance in equal intervals of time then it is said to be moving at uniform speed. Mathematically speed is defined as v = S⁄t here v is speed of object, S is the distance covered and t is time taken.
