SOLUTIONS:
II. CONCLUSION:

III. REVIEW QUESTIONS:

1. Differentiate speed from velocity.
- Speed is a scalar quantity and required magnitude only while velocity is a vector
quantity and required both magnitude and direction to define it.

2. Define average velocity and relatively velocity.

- Average velocity is defined as the ratio of total displacement to total time
- Relatively velocity is a measurement of velocity between two objects as determined
in the single coordinate system.

3. What is the difference between instantaneous acceleration and uniform acceleration?

Give Examples.
- Instantaneous acceleration is the rate of velocity change in an instant time while
uniform acceleration is the equal changes in speed in equal time.
Examples:
- A diesel locomotive is moving on the rail track(INSTANTANEOUS
ACCELERATION).
- A ball falling for a short distance(UNIFORM ACCELERATION).

4. Describe an experiment other than that which you have performed in the laboratory,
which would show how a body with uniformly accelerated motion behaves.

5. How is uniform linear acceleration related to acceleration due to gravity? Give their
similarities and/or differences by citing specific examples.
