What is the name given to the physical quantity which can be completely described by specifying both magnitude and direction?
Vector quantity
Which physical quantity is given by slope of v-t graph?
Acceleration.
What is the formula for uniform velocity?
velocity is a vector quantity. Its magnitude is given by (velocity)= (distance)/(time)
Speed of an object at any given time?
It is the distance covered in a unit of time.
What quantity is scalar?
scalar quantity is an physical quantity which has force but no direction. 2 examples of scalar: temperature( temp. has magnetude but it cant be expressed in an direction), time( time can be measured in second or hours but cant be given an direction as in 20 minutes south
What is displacement in physical?
Displacement is a vector quantity. This means it has both size AND direction. Therefore, displacement is defined as distance in a given direction. Rather then simply 'distance'. Distance itself is a scalar quantity... and only has size. No direction. 20m - Distance. 20m upwards - Displacement.

Acceleration.
The amount of distance covered in a given time is called?
The speed
What is the formula for uniform velocity?
velocity is a vector quantity. Its magnitude is given by (velocity)= (distance)/(time)
What is the distance than an object travels ina given time?
speed or velocity = distance/time Speed does not require direction, i.e. it is a scalar quantity. Velocity does require direction, i.e. it is a vector quantity.
Speed of an object at any given time?
It is the distance covered in a unit of time.
What is certainty and uncertainty in quantum mechanics?
certainty means how are you accurate in measuring a physical quantity. There is always some uncertainty in measuring of any physical quantity . It is given by higenberg's uncertainty principle. Quantum mechanics deals with the physical quantities which have some discreet values. So The measurement is not certain.
Because the speed of an object can change from one instant to the next dividing the total distance covered by the time of travel given?
Average speed = distance/time
What quantity is scalar?
scalar quantity is an physical quantity which has force but no direction. 2 examples of scalar: temperature( temp. has magnetude but it cant be expressed in an direction), time( time can be measured in second or hours but cant be given an direction as in 20 minutes south
Name 2 physical quantities that can be obtained from v-t graph?
well, the area under the curve between a time interval is equal to the distance traveled on that specific time interval. So one quantity is distance. As for another quantity, the answer would be velocity, but I think they may want a less obvious answer. A quantity out side of velocity could be instantaneous acceleration. This is given by the slope of the the tangent line to the velocity-time graph.Hope this helps you answer your question. Though I think the most simple way to understanding why is to take a course of calculus.
What one thing does a velocity-time graph not tell you about your object that a position-time graph does?
Distance covered at a given time.
