11physics - Motion in A Straight Line-Assignment
Q2. A table clock has its minute hand 5 cm long. Find the average velocity of the minute hand between
6:00 am to 6:30 am.
Q3. The magnitude of the average velocity of a particle is not always equal to its average speed. Why?
Q4. A car moves from A to B with a speed of 30 km h-1 and from B to A with a speed of 20 km h-1. What
is the average speed of the car?
Q5. Two straight lines drawn on the same x-t curve make angles 30o and 60o with time axis. Which line
represents greater velocity? What is the ratio of the two velocities?
Q6. A body covers one third of its journey with speed u, next one third with speed v and the last one third
with speed w. Calculate the average speed of the body during the entire journey.
Q7. How can one determine (i) the distance (ii) the displacement covered by a uniformly accelerated body
from its velocity-time graph?
Q8. Acceleration-time graph of a moving object is parallel to time axis. Draw the velocity-time graph and
displacement-time graph corresponding to this type of motion.
Q9. Draw the following graphs for an object under free fall.
(a) Variation of acceleration with respect to time.
(b) Variation of velocity with respect to time.
(c) Variation of distance with respect to time.
Q10. A stone is dropped from the top of a cliff and is found to travel 44.1 m during the last second before
it reaches the ground. What is the height of the cliff? g=9.8 m/s2.
Q11. What is the ratio of the distances travelled by a body, falling freely from the rest, in the first, second
and third seconds of its fall?
Q12. A driver of a car moving at 30 m/s suddenly notices a child 80m straight ahead. If the driver’s
reaction time is 0.5 s and the deceleration is 8 m s-2, can he avoid hitting the child?
Q13. A balloon is ascending at the rate of 4.9 m/s. A packet is dropped from the balloon when situated at
a height of 245 m. how long does the packet take to reach the ground? What is its final velocity?
Q14. A body starting from rest has an acceleration of 20 m/s2. Calculate (i) distance travelled by body in
8 s (ii) its velocity after travelling 10 m and (iii) distance travelled by it in 5th second.
Q15. A car starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for 10 s to a velocity of 8 m s-1. It then runs with
constant velocity and is finally brought to rest in 64 m with a constant retardation. The total distance
covered by the car is 584 m. find the value of acceleration, retardation and total time taken.
