Which of the following is the correct definition of variable velocity?
Correct answer: C. Unequal displacements are made in equal intervals of time
- A. Unequal distances are covered in equal intervals of time
- B. Equal displacements are made in unequal intervals of time
- C. Unequal displacements are made in equal intervals of time
- D. Equal displacements are made in equal intervals of time
Explanation
When an object covers unequal displacements (changes in position) in equal intervals of time is known as variable velocity. This means that the object's speed or rate of change in position varies over time. It can be due to factors such as acceleration or deceleration, where the object is either speeding up or slowing down during the specified intervals of time.

About Force and Motion
Displacement, velocity and acceleration describe motion, including the horizontal and vertical components of projectile motion. The chapter connects these quantities with Newton's laws, momentum and impulse, then applies conservation of momentum to collisions, distinguishing elastic collisions from inelastic ones.
