Question 3: A car moves with a constant velocity of 20 m/s to the east. What can you say about its motion?

(a) The car is at rest
(b) The car is accelerating
(c) The car is moving at a constant speed but changing direction
(d) The car is moving at a constant speed in a straight line

Question 4: Which of the following is true for an object that is moving with a constant velocity?

(a) The object is always at rest
(b) The object is always accelerating
(c) The object is moving at a constant speed

(a) Zero
(b) Equal to its initial velocity
(c) Equal to the acceleration due to gravity
(d) Equal to the speed of light

Question 6: What is the difference between velocity and speed?

(a) Velocity is a scalar quantity, and speed is a vector quantity.
(b) Velocity is measured in kilometers per hour (km/h), and speed is measured in meters per second (m/s).
(c) Velocity includes both the magnitude and direction of motion, while speed only represents the magnitude.
