Equations of Motion

Physics ⇒ Mechanics

Equations of Motion starts at 8 and continues till grade 12. QuestionsToday has an evolving set of questions to continuously challenge students so that their knowledge grows in Equations of Motion. How you perform is determined by your score and the time you take. When you play a quiz, your answers are evaluated in concept instead of actual words and definitions used.
See sample questions for grade 10
A ball is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 20 m/s. Assuming acceleration due to gravity is -10 m/s², how long will it take to reach the highest point?
A body moves with a uniform acceleration of 3 m/s². If its initial velocity is 4 m/s, what will be its velocity after 6 seconds?
A body moves with an initial velocity of 6 m/s and an acceleration of 2 m/s². What will be its velocity after 7 seconds?
A body starts from rest and travels 40 m in 4 seconds with uniform acceleration. What is its acceleration?
A bus moving with a velocity of 25 m/s is brought to rest by applying brakes in 5 seconds. What is the distance covered before coming to rest?
A car covers 100 m in 5 seconds, starting from rest and moving with uniform acceleration. What is the acceleration?
A car moving at 20 m/s slows down to 10 m/s in 5 seconds. What is its acceleration?
