Worked practice questions

Which quantity is never represented by an arrow?

  1. A vector
  2. A force
  3. A velocity
  4. A scalar
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: D. A scalar

1. Arrows show magnitude and direction. 2. Scalars have no direction. 3. So scalars are never drawn as arrows. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e, Chapter 2, Kinematics (CC BY 4.0)._

Once you assign a positive direction in a problem, you:

  1. Cannot change it
  2. Must reverse it
  3. Can ignore it
  4. Must double it
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: A. Cannot change it

1. Any direction can be chosen as positive. 2. But once chosen it cannot change. 3. Consistency is what matters. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e, Chapter 2, Kinematics (CC BY 4.0)._

The SI unit for time is the:

  1. Swing
  2. Second
  3. Minute
  4. Cycle
Show answer and solution

Correct answer: B. Second

1. Time is measured by comparison with a standard. 2. The SI unit is the second. 3. A pendulum swing can serve as a clock. _Source: OpenStax College Physics for AP Courses 2e, Chapter 2, Kinematics (CC BY 4.0)._
