List of top Science Questions on Measuring the Rate of Motion

Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be \(20\) \(km\, h^{–1}\). On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is \(30\) \(km \,h^{–1}\). What is the average speed for Abdul’s trip?

A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of \(3.0\) \(m s^{–2}\) for \(8.0\) \(s\). How far does the boat travel during this time?

An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter  \(200 \;m\) in \(40 \;s\). What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of \(2\) minutes \(20\) \(s\)?
