Kinematics
1/ ..(1).....................are quantities that have magnitude only.
2/ Vectors are quantities that have ..(2)......................... as well as ..(3)................................
3/ ....(4).......................... vectors are vectors that lie in the same plane.
4/ ..(5).............. is the length of the path taken while ..(6).....................is the straight-line distance and
the direction from a fixed point. ...(5).. ........................is a scalar quantity and ..(6)..............is a vector
quantity.
5/ …(7)……... is the …...(8)............… travelled per unit time. Its SI unit is meter per second (ms-1).
6/ ...(9)..............................… is the rate of change of displacement.
8/ ....(10).........................is the rate of the change of velocity. Its magnitude is given by the ...
(11)...............or ..(12)............................ of a (v-t) graph.
9/ Consider a body moving with uniform or ...(13)................................. acceleration in a straight line.
10/ ...(14).................… refers to motion under the influence of a uniform gravitational field without air
resistance.
11/ ..(15).........................… refers to the resistive force acting on a body moving through air. Its.
(16).................. is always opposite to the direction of motion. Its . (17)... .......depends on the speed and
cross-section area of the body, and the density of the air.
12/ The path or the ...(18)............................ of a body, due to uniform velocity in one direction and a
uniform acceleration in a perpendicular direction, is a curve called ...(19).......................…
13/………(20)……….: A situation in which the forces acting upon an object are in balance.
