Answer to Problem 1VC
(a)Speed
(b)Uniform velocity
(c)Accleration(change in velocity magnitude)
(d)Accleration(change in velocity magnitude and direction)
Explanation of Solution
Speed is a scalar quantity. It has only magnitude and no direction. It is the total distance traveled per unit time.
Velocity is a vector quantity. It has both magnitude and direction. It is the displacement per unit time. Uniform velocity implies equal velocity for equal intervals of time.
Acceleration is a vector quantity. It is the rate of change of velocity. A body moving in a curve has centripetal force exerting on it. For a force, there must be some acceleration. The change in the direction of the velocity also causes the body to accelerate.
Conclusion:
Therefore, this visual image can be connected as follows,
(a)Speed
(b)Uniform velocity
(c)Accleration(change in velocity magnitude)
(d)Acceleration(change in velocity magnitude and direction)
