Science 1: Chapter no 1: Law of motion
Class 9 Science 1 Chapter 1 Exercise Answers 1. Match the First Column with Appropriate Entries in the Second and Third Columns S. No. Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 1 Negative acceleration The velocity of the object decreases. A vehicle moving with a velocity of 10 m/s stops after 5 seconds. 2 Positive acceleration The velocity of the object increases. A car initially at rest reaches a velocity of 50 km/h in 10 seconds. 3 Zero acceleration The velocity of the object remains constant. A vehicle is moving with a constant velocity of 25 m/s. 2. Clarify the Differences A. Distance and Displacement Distance Displacement Distance is the total length of the actual path travelled by an object. Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of an object. Distance is a scalar quantity. Displacement is a vector quantity. Distance has only magnitude. Displacement has both magnitude and direction. ...
