5. The speed of a moving body that covers equal distances at unequal periods
of time. Irregular speed

taken to cover this distance. Average speed
7. The value of an object speed relative to the observer. Relative speed
8. The value of change in the object speed in one second. acceleration
9. The acceleration by which an object moves in straight line when its speed
increases by equal values through equal periods of time. Positive
acceleration
10.The acceleration by which an object moves when its final speed is less than
its initial speed. Negative acceleration (deceleration)
11.The physical quantity that has magnitude only and has no direction.
Scalar physical quantity
12.The physical quantity that has magnitude and direction. Vector quantity
13. The length of the shortest straight line between primary position and final
position. displacement
14.The actual length of the path that a moving object covers from the starting
point to the ending point. displacement
15.The displacement covered in one second. Velocity
16. The rate of change of displacement. Velocity
17.The optical piece that forms an upright, virtual and equal image of the
body. Plane mirror
18. A mirror which it’s reflecting surface is a part of a hollow sphere. Spherical
mirror

 19.A mirror who’s reflecting surface is the inner surface of a sphere and
converges the light ray. Concave mirror
20.A mirror whose reflecting surface is the outer surface of a sphere and
diverges the light rays. Convex mirror

Question two: Give reason:

1. The motion of a train can be considered from examples of motion in one
direction.
Because the train moves forward or backward in a straight line or curved or
combination of both
2. Mass, length and time are considered scalar physical quantities.
Because they have magnitude only and have no direction
3. Force, velocity and acceleration are considered vector physical quantities.
Because they have magnitude and direction.
4. Pilots take in consideration the velocity of the wind during their flights.
Because the direction of wind affects the velocity of the plane and hence.
The time of the trip and the amount of fuel consumed.
5. The word AMBULANCE is written in a laterally inverted way on the
ambulance car.
Because the mirrors of the car form a laterally inverted image for this word,
and thus it appears laterally corrected to the drivers.
6. The concave mirror is called converging mirror, while the convex mirror is
called diverging.
Because concave mirror collects light rays that fall on its surface, while
convex mirror disperses light rays that fall on its surface.
7. The image formed by a convex mirror is always virtual.
Because wherever the position of the object in front of the convex mirror,
its image formed behind the mirror from the intersection of the extensions
of the reflected light rays, can’t be received on a screen and lies behind the
mirror.
8. The image formed by the convex mirror cannot be received on a screen.
Because it is a virtual image which is formed as a result of the intersections
of the extensions of the reflected light rays and lies behind the mirror.

Question three: Problems
1. Travels from Cairo to Alex. A distance of 250 km in 2 hours. Find its speed.
Speed = d/t = 250 / 2 = 125 km/h
2. A train starts to move at 7oclock in the morning, then what is the time of
arrival if it moves at speed of 100 km/hour to cover the distance of 500
km/hour.
Time = distance / speed = 500 / 100 = 5 hours
Time of arrival = 12 pm
3. A boy on a bike covers 300 meters in a minute and 420 meters in the
following minute. Calculate his average speed during:
A . the first minute v. the second minute c. the two
minutes.
Average speed in first minute = 300 / 60 = 5 m/sec.
The second minute = 420 / 60 = 7 m/sec
The two minutes = 300+ 420 / 2*60 = 6 m/se
4. A special car can move from rest and its speed reaches 90 m/sec. in 10
seconds. What is the acceleration at which the car moved?
Acceleration = change in speed / time = 90 – 0 / 10 = 9 m/s2
5. Within 2.5 seconds, the speed of a car increases from 20 m/sec to 25 m /sec
while a bike moves from rest and its speed reaches 5 m/sec. in the same
time. Calculate:
a) The acceleration of the car and the acceleration of the bike.
b) Which one moves at a greater acceleration?
Acceleration of car = 25-20 / 2.5 = 2 m/sec2
Acceleration of bike = 5-0 / 2.5 = 2 m/sec2
6. A racer covered 50 meters northwards within 30 seconds, then 100 meters
eastwards within 60 seconds, then 50 meters southwards within 10 sec. and
then return back to the start point within 40 seconds.
a) How long is the total distance the racer moved?
b) What is the average speed of the racer?
c) What is the displacement? 100 m
d) What is the average velocity? 60 sec
50 m
50 m
………a. total distance = 50+100+50+100 = 300 m

40 sec
b. average speed = 300 / (30+60 + 10 + 40) = 2.14 m.sec
c. displacement = zero
d. average velocity = zero
