AC-HPAT PHYSICS QUESTIONS WITH
CORRECT ANSWERS 2025
What is Newton's first law? - CORRECT ANSWER -
An object at rest stays at rest and an object in motion stays in motion with the same speed and i
n the same direction unless acted upon by an unbalanced force.
What are scalar and vector quantities? Examples. - CORRECT ANSWER -
Scalars are quantities that only have magnitude (or size), while vectors have both magnitude and d
irection.
Scalar: time, area, volume, temperature, and mass.
Vector: displacement, velocity, force, and acceleration.
Difference between distance and displacement? How to calculate? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Distance is the length of the path taken and is usually measured in metres or kilometres.
Displacement is a vector quantity that represents the change in position in a given direction.
Delta D = D2-D1
What is velocity and how do you find it? - CORRECT ANSWER -
The velocity of an object is the rate at which the position is changing with respect to time.
V=(displacement)/time
What is acceleration and how do you find it? - CORRECT ANSWER -
Acceleration is the rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
a = delta (velocity) / delta (time)
