I Multiple Choice Questions
2. Which of the following graph represents the uniform motion of a moving particle
3. A body moving with an initial velocity of 5ms-1 and accelerating at 2ms-2. Its velocity after 10s is
a) 20ms-1 b) 25ms-1 c) 5ms-1 d) 22.55ms-1
4. In a 100 m race, the winner takes 10s to reach the finishing point. The average speed of the winner
is a) 5ms-1 b) 20ms-1 c) 40 ms-1 d) 10 ms-1
6. Which one of the following is most likely not a case of uniform circular motion?
a) Motion of the Earth around the Sun. b) Motion of a toy train on a circular track.
c) Motion of a racing car on a circular track. d) Motion of hours’ hand on the dial of the clock.
a. If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
b. If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
1. Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or
direction or both of them. Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the
velocity it does not depend the direction.
2. Assertion: The Speedometer of a car or a motor-cycle measures the average speed of it. Reason:
Average velocity is equal to total displacement divided by total time taken.
3. Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero. Reason:
The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
IV NUMERICALS
1. A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10
ms-2, what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?
2. An Athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the
distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 min and 20 s?
3.The adjacent diagram shows the velocity time graph of a body. During what time interval is the
motion of the body accelerated. Find the acceleration in the time interval mentioned in part 'a'.
What is the distance travelled by the body in the time interval mentioned in part a?
4.The following graph shows the motion of a car. What do you infer from the graph along OA and AB?
What is the speed of the car along AB and what time it reached this speed?
5. A sound is heard 5 s later than the lightning is seen in the sky on a rainy day. Find the distance of
location of lightning? Given the speed of sound = 346 ms-1
6. Surya swims in a 90 m long pool. He covers 180 m in 60 s by swimming from one end to the other
and back along the same straight path. Find the average speed and the average velocity of Surya.
7. The brakes applied to a car produce an acceleration of 6 ms-2 in the opposite direction to the
motion. If the car takes 2s to stop after the application of brakes. Calculate the distance it travels
during this time.
