When you’re trying to get better at kinematics in Grade 10, practice questions can really help! Here are some helpful types of practice questions you can use:

1. Basic Concepts & Definitions:

• What’s the difference between distance and displacement?
• Explain speed, velocity, and acceleration with easy examples.

2. Graph Interpretation:

• Look at a velocity-time graph and find the acceleration at different points.
• What does the slope of a position-time graph show?

3. Calculating Motion:

• If a car drives 150 kilometers in 2 hours, what is its average speed?
• A ball is thrown straight up with a speed of 20 meters per second. How high will it go before it starts to come back down?

4. Equations of Motion:

• Use the formula ( s = ut + \frac{1}{2} a t^2 ) to solve problems when you know the initial speed (( u )), acceleration (( a )), and time (( t )).
• If a car speeds up from a stop at 2 meters per second squared, what will its speed be after 5 seconds?

5. Projectiles:

• If you launch something at a 45-degree angle with a speed of 15 meters per second, what is the highest point it reaches?
• What’s the total distance the projectile travels if you keep the same starting information?

6. Real-world Applications:

• A cyclist rides east for 3 hours at a speed of 10 kilometers per hour. Then, they turn north and ride for another hour at 15 kilometers per hour. What is the total distance and displacement they traveled?

7. Word Problems:

• A train goes 150 kilometers in 2 hours and then slows down to a stop in 5 minutes. What is its acceleration?

These questions help you understand different ideas, from the basics to more advanced topics. Mixing them up while you study can really make you comfortable with kinematics and help you do great on your test! Happy studying!
