SCRIPT 2026 DETAILED ANSWERS GRADED
A+
⩥ scalar. Answer: A physical quantity that has magnitude only.
⩥ displacement. Answer: Distance and direction of an object's change in
position from the starting point.
⩥ distance. Answer: how far an object moves
⩥ velocity. Answer: speed in a given direction
⩥ acceleration. Answer: the rate at which velocity changes
⩥ force. Answer: a push or pull
⩥ Newton's First Law of Motion. Answer: an object in motion will
remain in motion unless acted upon by another force
, ⩥ Newton's Second Law of Motion. Answer: The acceleration of an
object depends on the mass of the object and the amount of force
applied.
⩥ Newton's Third Law of Motion. Answer: For every action there is an
equal and opposite reaction
⩥ weight. Answer: A measure of the force of gravity on an object
⩥ free fall. Answer: the motion of a falling object when the only force
acting on it is gravity
⩥ gravity. Answer: A force of attraction between objects that is due to
their masses.
⩥ equilibrium. Answer: a state in which opposing forces or influences
are balanced.
⩥ reflection. Answer: The bouncing back of a wave when it hits a
surface through which it cannot pass.
⩥ law of reflection. Answer: the angle of incidence is equal to the angle
of reflection
