2 In Projectile motion, there is no change in the speed in the x-axis direction True Fales
3 When using the term “uniform circular motion,” This means:
a) The object’s speed is increasing b) The direction of the object’s velocity is constant
c) The object’s speed is decreasing d) The motion of the object is at a constant speed

of the satellite?
a) Directed radially toward Earth b) It doesn’t have a direction

c) Directed radially to satellite d) Directed radially outward from Earth

Q2 An object moves from 𝑟⃗1 = 2𝑖 − 4𝑗 + 6𝑘 𝑡𝑜 𝑟⃗2 = 3𝑖 − 𝑗 + 𝑘 in 2 seconds. Find its displacement


and average velocity?
⃗⃗ = 𝑟⃗2 − 𝑟⃗1 = (3 − 2)𝑖 + (−1 − (−4))𝑗 + (1 − 6)𝑘 = 𝑖 + 3𝑗 − 5𝑘

Q3 A particle moves by equations: 𝑥(𝑡) = 5𝑡 2 + 2𝑡 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑦(𝑡) = 3𝑡 2 − 1, where, x and y are in meter.
Find the instantaneous velocity after 2 seconds.
𝑑𝑟 𝑑𝑥 𝑑𝑦 𝑑(5𝑡 2 + 2𝑡) 𝑑(3𝑡 2 − 1)
𝑣= = 𝑖+ 𝑗= 𝑖+ 𝑗 = (10𝑡 + 2)𝑖 + (6𝑡)𝑗
