Question

Match the items in Column A with the items in Column B.

Column A	Column B
1. Straight line graph	(a) Second
2. Pendulum	(b) Speed
3. Time	(c) Velocity
4. Scalar	(d) Uniform
5. Vector	(e) Periodic motion

Accepted Answer

1. Straight line graph (d) Uniform

In a distance-time graph, if the graph is a straight line, it means that object is moving at a constant rate. In uniform motion, the velocity of the object is constant.

2. Pendulum (e) Periodic motion

The to and fro motion of a simple pendulum is an example of periodic motion. The pendulum repeats its path in equal intervals of time.

3. Time (a) Second

Second is the unit of time. We can measure time also by using minute, hour, day, week, month, year, century, decade, etc.

4. Scalar (b) Speed

Speed only depends on the distance an object travelled and not on the direction of the path. Hence, speed is a scalar quantity.

5. Vector (c) Velocity

The physical property which gives us both speed and the direction of motion of the body is called as velocity. Since it depends on the direction of motion of the body, it is a vector quantity.

The batched column A and B is shown below:

Column A Column B

1. Straight line graph (d) Uniform

2. Pendulum (e) Periodic motion

3. Time (a) Second

4. Scalar (b) Speed

5. Vector (c) Velocity
