29. Read the following paragraph and answer the questions that follow. 4
The speed of an object need not be constant. In most cases, objects will be in nonuniform motion.
Therefore, we describe the rate of motion of such objects in terms of their average speed. The average
speed of an object is obtained by dividing the total distance traveled by the total time taken. The quantity
that describes how fast the position is changing w.r.t. time and in what direction is given by average
velocity. It is defined as the change in position or displacement (Δx) divided by the time interval
(Δt ) in which that displacement occurs. The rate at which average velocity changes with time is
acceleration.

of a rectangular co-ordinate system are denoted by 𝑖̂, 𝑗̂, 𝑘̂ respectively.

of given vectors. Vector multiplied by a positive scalar gives another vector of greater magnitude.
Multiplication of a vector by another vector so as to produce a scaler is called scalar product or dot
product.
