Question 1.
What is displacement in kinematics?
Show hintHide hint
Think about what happens when an object moves.
Question 2.
Describe how velocity differs from speed.
Show hintHide hint
Consider a car moving north at 60 km/h.
3Question 3.
What does kinematic analysis not consider?
- Forces
- Positions
- Velocities
Show hintHide hint
Focus on what aspect of motion is analyzed.
4Question 4.
True or False: Acceleration includes both tangential and centripetal components.
- True
- False
Show hintHide hint
Reflect on the definitions of acceleration.
Question 5.
A car travels in a circular path of radius 50 m at a speed of 10 m/s. Calculate its centripetal acceleration.
Show hintHide hint
Remember the formula for centripetal acceleration involves radius.
Question 6.
In a four-bar linkage, the lengths of the links are 2 m, 4 m, and 3 m respectively. Find the positions using the loop closure equation.
Show hintHide hint
Use geometry to visualize the closed loop of the linkage.
