Multiple Choice Questions
Question 1.

A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a circle would be:
A. Zero

B. π r

C. 2 r

D. 2π r


Answer:

After half a circle., the diameter of the circle will be its displacement.



So, 2r is that answer.


Question 2.

A body is thrown vertically upward with velocity u, the greatest height h to which it will rise is,
A. u/g

B. u2/2g

C. u2/g

D. u/2g


Answer:

Initial velocity be u


Final Velocity (v)= 0


Acceleration on the body is –g


Hence, from the equation of motion


We have


v2 = u2 +2as


0 = u2 – 2gh


h = u2/2g


So. u2/2g is correct option.


Question 3.

The numerical ratio of displacement to distance for a moving object is
A. always less than 1

B. always equal to 1

C. always more than 1

D. equal or less than 1


Answer:

The displacement is always less than or equal to distance.


Its depend on direction of motion.


If motion in same direction than it will be 1 otherwise less than 1.


Question 4.

If the displacement of an object is proportional to square of time, then the object moves with
A. uniform velocity

B. uniform acceleration

C. increasing acceleration

D. decreasing acceleration


Answer:

From the 2nd equation of motion,


If the object starts from rest i.e. its initial velocity is zero (i.e., u = 0), then



For, s to be proportional to square of time, a must be constant.


Thus, the object moves with uniform acceleration.


Question 5.

From the given v – t graph (Fig. 8.1), it can be inferred that the object is

A. in uniform motion
B. at rest
C. in non-uniform motion
D. moving with uniform acceleration


Answer:

The graph shows constant velocity of the object with increasing time. Thus, the object is in uniform motion. So option A is correct.


Question 6.

Suppose a boy is enjoying a ride on a merry-go-round which is moving with a constant speed of 10 m/s I. t implies that the boy is
A. at rest

B. moving with no acceleration

C. in accelerated motion

D. moving with uniform velocity


Answer:

Acceleration of a body is the rate of change of its velocity with time.


Here the, magnitude of the velocity is constant but its direction is changing. i.e. when the boy is sitting on a merry -go round, the direction of motion is changing, which indicates that the boy is in accelerated motion.


So, option C is right.


Question 7.

Area under a v – t graph represents a physical quantity which has the unit
A. m2

B. m

C. m3

D. m s–1


Answer:

The area under the velocity-time graph gives the distance (magnitude of displacement) which has the unit: metre (m)


So, option B is correct.


Question 8.

Four cars A, B, C and D are moving on a levelled road. Their distance versus time graphs are shown in Fig. 8.2. Choose the correct statement


A. Car A is faster than car D.

B. Car B is the slowest.

C. Car D is faster than car C.

D. Car C is the slowest.


Answer:

From the slope of distance-time graph given, we get the speed of the object. Clearly, the slope of B is the lowest and the slope of C is the greatest. So, we can say that the car B is the slowest and thus it will cover the smallest distance in longest interval of time.


Question 9.

Which of the following figures (Fig. 8.3) represents uniform motion of a moving object correctly?


A. (a)

B. (b)

C. (c)

D. (d)


Answer:

For the uniform motion, the slope of distance-time graph is a straight line. Any object is in uniform motion such that equal distance is covered in equal intervals of time.


Question 10.

Slope of a velocity – time graph gives
A. the distance

B. the displacement

C. the acceleration

D. the speed


Answer:

The slope of any line is given as, Slope = =


And we know, that is Acceleration.


So, Acceleration is the correct answer.


Question 11.

In which of the following cases of motions, the distance moved and the magnitude of displacement are equal?
A. If the car is moving on straight road

B. If the car is moving in circular path

C. The pendulum is moving to and fro

D. The earth is revolving around the Sun


Answer:

The distance moved and the magnitude of displacement are equal if the car is moving on straight road.



Displacement is the shortest path travelled between any two initial and final points. When a car is moving on a straight road, then the displacement is equal to the distance.



Short Answer Type
Question 1.

The displacement of a moving object in a given interval of time is zero. Would the distance travelled by the object also be zero? Justify your answer.


Answer:

Displacement means the shortest distance that has been travelled by any object in moving process. Displacement will be zero when the initial and the final position of an object are the same.
Distance means the actual path that has been travelled and it is a scalar quantity. For example- if a man walks along a circular path so its displacement is zero but his distance is not zero because it is equal to the circumference.



Question 2.

How will the equations of motion for an object moving with a uniform velocity change?


Answer:

In uniform motion, So, from 1st equation of motion are,
v=u + at

If a=0 then


v=u+0 x t


v = u + 0


or v = u


i.e. initial velocity is equal to the final velocity. Or the velocity is uniform.


From 2nd equation of motion, s=ut+1/2at2


(if a=0)


s=ut+x 0 x t2


s = ut + 0


s = ut


From 3rd equation of motion,


v2 - u2 = 2as


(if a=0)


v2 - u2 = 2 x 0 x s


v2 - u2= 0


or v2 = u2


Thus, the equations of motion with uniform velocity are:


1) v = u


2) s = ut


3) v2 = u2



Question 3.

A girl walks along a straight path to drop a letter in the letterbox and comes back to her initial position. Her displacement–time graph is shown in Fig.8.4.

Plot a velocity–time graph for the same.



Answer:

From the graph, we have:


Initial velocity (u) = 0


Now, Velocity(v) = displacement/time


Therefore, the velocity after 50s =?


v = 100/50 = 2ms-1


Ans, the velocity after 100s,


Here, the displacement = 0


Then, time = 100s


velocity=displacement/time


V = 0/100 = 0



Velocity – time graph plotted from the above data is:




Question 4.

A car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with constant acceleration 5 m s–2 for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from the rest?


Answer:

As the car moves from rest, where u = 0,

Acceleration, a = 5ms-2


time, t = 8sec


distance(s) =?


From the equation of motion


S1 = ut + 1/2 at2


S1 = (0x8) + 1/2 x 5 x (8)2


S1 = 0 +1/2x5x64


S1 = 5x32


S1 =160 m


The velocity after 8 sec,


From equation of motion


v = u + at


v = 0 + 5 x 8


v = 40m/s


So, the distance travelled in 4 sec (12 s – 8 s = 4s)


S2 = 40 x 4


S2 = 160 m


Therefore, total distance travelled by the car = S1 + S2


= 160 + 160


= 320 m



Question 5.

A motorcyclist drives from A to B with a uniform speed of 30 km h–1 and returns back with a speed of 20 km h–1. Find its average speed.


Answer:

Let the distance (AB) = x


Total distance = x + x = 2x


Speed = distance/time


t1 = x/30


t2 (return trip) = x/20


Total time taken = t1 +t2


Total time taken = x/30 + x/20


= (2x +3x)/60


= 5x/60


= x/12


Average speed = total distance/total time taken


= 2x /


= (2x) x


= 24 km/hr



Question 6.

The velocity-time graph (Fig. 8.5) shows the motion of a cyclist. Find

(i) its acceleration

(ii) its velocity and

(iii) the distance covered by the cyclist in 15 seconds.



Answer:

(i) From the graph, the velocity is constant with repsect to time i.e. the velocity is not changing and thus, rate of change of velocity is zero i.e. acceleration is zero.
(ii) The velocity is same as throughout as the it is constant with time. According to graph, Velocity = 20ms-1


(iii) Distance covered covered by the cyclist in 15 seconds,


S = u × t =20 m/sec x 15 sec = 300 m



Question 7.

Draw a velocity versus time graph of a stone thrown vertically upwards and then coming downwards after attaining the maximum height.


Answer:




Long Answer Type
Question 1.

An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150 m and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height 100 m. What is the difference in their heights after 2 s if both the objects drop with same accelerations? How does the difference in heights vary with time?


Answer:

let h1=150m and h2=100m

Then, the difference in height h=(150-100)m=50 m


Distance travelled by first body in 2s is given as,


Distance=ut + at2


Now, if the Initial speed(u) = 0(when the object was at rest)


Ans, the time, t =2s


So, by substituting the values, we get,


S = 0 +g× (2)2


S = 0 +g× 4


S = 0 +× 9.8 × 4


S = 19.6 m


So, After 2s, the height of the first object, h1=150-19.6


So, After 2s height of the second object, h2=100-19.6


Thus, after 2s difference of height= h1 - h2 (150-19.6) - (100-19.6) =50 m


So, after 2s difference height will be 50 m = initial difference in height


Thus, the difference in height of the object will remain same because the height does not vary with time.



Question 2.

An object starting from rest travels 20 m in first 2 s and 160 m in next 4 s. What will be the velocity after 7 s from the start?


Answer:

Let acceleration (a) of the body be ‘a’.

So, to find the acceleration of the body


..............(i)


Where u = 0, t = 2s and s = 20m


So, by putting the values in equation (i), we get,



20 = 0 +x a x(2)2

20 = x 4a

4 a = 20x2

a = 40/4

a = 10m/s2


Therefore the velocity after 2 seconds is :-

v= 0 + 10×2= 20m/s

We know that the distance travelled in next 4 seconds is 160 m and the body is starting at 20m/s

∴ u=20m/s
t= 4 sec
s= 160m

Puttting the above value in

We get :-

Solving for a' we get a'= 10 m/s2

Since the acceleration is same , we use

V= u + at

V=0 + 10x7

V = 70 m/s


Question 3.

Using following data, draw time - displacement graph for a moving object:


Use this graph to find average velocity for first 4 s, for next 4 s and for last 6 s.


Answer:

Average velocity =


Or V=1ms-1


For next 4s,



V = 0/4


V = 0 ms-1


As X(metre) remains the same from 4 to 8 seconds, velocity = 0


For last 6s,


V=


V = -6/6


V = -1ms-1



Question 4.

An electron moving with a velocity of 5×104 m s-1 enters into a uniform electric field and acquires a uniform acceleration of 104 m s–2 in the direction of its initial motion.

(i) Calculate the time in which the electron would acquire a velocity double of its initial velocity.

(ii) How much distance the electron would cover in this time?


Answer:

given

Initial velocity u = 5x104 m s-1


And acceleration a = 104 m s-2


(i) According to the given question, the final velocity v = 2u


We need to find the time, t =?


V = u+ at


2u = u +(104 ms-2 ) × t


u = 104 ms-1 × t


t = u / 104 m s-1


t = (5x104) / 104


=5s


(ii) t=5s, a=104 ms-2, u=5x104ms-1 s=?


s=ut + at2


s = (5 x104) x5 +1/2(104) x (5)2


s = 25 x104 + 25/2 x (104)


s = 25 x 104 +12.5 x (104)


s = 37.5x104 m



Question 5.

Obtain a relation for the distance travelled by an object moving with a uniform acceleration in the interval between 4th and 5th seconds.


Answer:

from the equation of motion

s= ut + at2 Distance travelled in 5s,


s = u x 5+ x a x (5)2


s =5u + 25/2 a …….(i)


Similarly, distance travelled in 4s,


s’ =4u +16/2 a


s’ =4u+8a…….(ii)


Distance travelled in the interval between 4th and 5th second=(s-s’)


= (5u +25/2 – 4u +8)


= (u+ a) m



Question 6.

Two stones are thrown vertically upwards simultaneously with their initial velocities u and u respectively. Prove that the heights reached by them would be in the ratio of : (Assume upward acceleration is –g and downward acceleration to be +g).


Answer:

We know for upward motion,

v2= u2 - 2gh


so,


h=v2 -u2/2g


Highest point v=0


so,


H=u2/2g


Height for first ball, h1= u12/2g


Height for second ball, h2= u22/2g


Then, h1/h2= (u12/2g) /(u22/2g)


= u12/u22


= h1:h2


=u12: u22 Proved
