Kinematics
Which of the following best describes the relationship between different representations of motion (diagrams, equations, and narratives)?
They are unrelated and describe different aspects of motion.
They are all ways of looking at the same thing: how objects change position over time.
Diagrams are only useful for qualitative analysis, while equations are for quantitative analysis.
Narratives are only for introductory explanations and have no practical use.
A car moves with a constant acceleration. Which kinematic equation is best suited to find the final velocity () if you know the initial velocity (), acceleration (), and time ()?
A student describes the motion of a ball as follows: 'The ball starts from rest and rolls down a ramp, increasing its speed steadily.' Which physical scenario best matches this narrative?

A ball thrown vertically upwards.
A ball rolling down a ramp with constant acceleration.
A ball dropped from a height, experiencing air resistance.
