Question 2. Differentiate between uniform and non-uniform motion. Give

examples.

Answer 2:

Uniform motion Non–uniform motion

Type of motion in which an object covers an Type of motion is when an object covers an
equal distance in an equal interval of time unequal distance in an equal time interval

It is similar to the speed of the object. It is different from the speed of the object.
 Has zero acceleration. Has non-zero acceleration.

Example: Example:
 A car travels 10 meters in the first five
 A truck moving with a speed of 20 seconds and covers 20 meters in the
m/s. This means that the truck covers next 5 seconds. Here the distance
20 meters in 1 second. The speed is changes every 5 seconds.
uniform every second.  A car moving in a crowded market.
 Motion of moon around the earth.

The distance-time graph shows a straight line The distance-time graph shows a curved line. It
inclined on the x-axis. can also be a zig-zag.

Question 5. An object has moved through a distance. Can it have zero

displacements? Support your answer with an example.

Answer 5: Yes, the displacement can be zero. Displacement is defined as the

distance travelled between the initial and final positions. The displacement is zero if
the object returns to the initial point after travelling a distance. To elaborate
further,

Average velocity = Net displacement/time taken,

Average speed = Total distance/time taken.

Net displacement can be zero, but total distance cannot be zero. This also implies
that average velocity can be zero, but average speed cannot be zero.

Question 6. How are the states of rest and motion relative?

Answer 6: Rest and motion are relative terms. The state of motion and rest depend
upon the observer’s frame of reference. They are interpreted based on the change
in position of the object concerning the origin. For example, a person standing on
the platform will see the train’s passengers in a state of motion. It means we see
motion and rest based on the observer’s frame of reference.

Question 8. Distinguish between speed and velocity.

Answer 8:

SPEED VELOCITY

Speed is the distance an object or body Velocity is the displacement travelled by an object
travels in a given period. or a body in a given period.

Speed depicts the rate of change in Velocity depicts the rate of change of
distance. displacement.

Average speed = total distance Average velocity = total displacement/total time

travelled/total time

Speed has magnitude and no direction. Velocity has both magnitude and direction.

SI unit is m/s SI unit is m/s.

Speed can be equal to velocity. An object may have the same speed but different
velocities.

Speed = distance/time Velocity = displacement/time

It is a scalar quantity. It is a vector quantity.

 Speed is always positive. Velocity can be positive or negative.

Speed cannot be negative and zero. Velocity can be zero.

Question 9: Define and classify motion.

Answer 9: Motion is defined as the change in position of an object continuously

concerning origin and time. We perceive an object when its position changes with
time. The origin is called a fixed reference point. Motion is measured by speed,
velocity and acceleration.

Question 14. Explain negative acceleration.

Answer 14: Negative acceleration is also known as retardation or de-acceleration.

When the velocity of the body decreases with time, the final velocity becomes less
than the initial velocity. This is negative acceleration.

For example: when the bus is moving and brakes are applied, there is a gradual
decrease in velocity due to retardation.

Question 25. The walls of your classroom are in motion but appear stationary.
Explain.

Answer 25: Since the relative position remains constant, the classroom walls
appear to be at rest to us. But the same classroom seems to be moving to the
person in outer space because of the earth’s rotation.
Question 27. When will you say a body is in

(i) uniform acceleration

and (ii) non-uniform acceleration?

Answer 27:

(i) When the velocity of the body changes in equal amount, in equal intervals and in
the same direction. Then this is known as uniform acceleration.

The acceleration of an object remains constant and does not change as a function
of time.

1. When there is a change in velocity in unequal amounts in equal intervals of

time, it is known as non-uniform acceleration.

H = u2/2g

Question 32. The numerical ratio of displacement and 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 32: (d) equal or less than 1

Explanation: Displacement of a moving object is never greater than the distance

travelled by it.

Therefore Displacement Distance

This implies that Displacementdistance≤1

Displacement is a vector. It may be positive or negative.

Distance is scalar and can never be negative.

km

Time of 1 revolution = 24 hour

Speed of satellite = 265571.43/24 = 11065.48 km/h

Question 53. Describe acceleration with examples.

Answer 53. Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity of a moving

body with respect to time.

Acceleration = change in velocity/change in time.

It is a vector quantity. Its SI unit is m/s2.

When acceleration is in the direction of the velocity, it is positive. It is negative when

opposite to the direction of velocity. For a body with constant velocity, acceleration
is zero.

There are two types of acceleration: uniform and non-uniform acceleration.

In uniform acceleration, an object travels in a straight line and the velocity increases
or decreases at an equal interval in equal amounts.

When the velocity increases or decreases in an unequal amount in an equal interval

of time, then the object is said to be in non-uniform acceleration. It is also known as
variable acceleration.

Question 54. Why can a velocity-time graph never be a straight line parallel to
the velocity axis?

Answer 54. Velocity changes within a certain period of time. The change is not
possible at one time. This would mean that velocity is increasing without an
increase in time which shows that acceleration is infinite. This is not possible.

Question 55. Is it possible that the train you are sitting on will appear to move
while at rest?

Answer 55: Yes. We are at rest, and the train on the adjacent track is moving.

Question 56. What is the numerical ratio of average velocity to an average

speed of an object moving along a straight line path?

Answer 56: The ratio is 1:1 because average velocity equals the average speed in a
straight line motion.
Question 57. A car accelerates non-uniformly over a path for time t. Do
equations of motion hold in this case? Why/Why not?

Answer 57: No. This is because the car is in non-uniform motion and the equations
of motion are applicable for uniform accelerated motion only.

Physics is a subject which requires a proper understanding of terminologies,

formula applications and graphs. Students must revise these entities before the
exam to ensure they apply formulas and concepts perfectly.

Slope of the displacement-time graph gives the velocity of the object.

Time interval = t2 – t1
Displacement = s2 – s1

Slope = Y interceptX intercept = s2-s1t1-t1 = velocity

 Velocity-time graph
The graph shows how the velocity changes with time. The slope of the velocity-time
graph gives the acceleration of the moving body

Slope of v-t graph = Y interceptX intercept = OB-OAt2-t1 = v-ut = acceleration

Q60. Describe uniform circular motion.

Answer 60. A body is in a uniform circular motion when it moves with constant
speed, following a circular path. The velocity of a particle changes continuously in
this type of motion. It is also known as accelerated motion.

Examples:

 The earth’s gravitational force keeps the satellite in orbit.

distance and displacement of the body be when it completes a half
revolution?
Answer 61. (a) Distance is measured by the area occupied below the velocity-time
graph

(b) The motion of the satellite has acceleration perpendicular to the directions.

( c) When distance and displacement are equal, the magnitude of average velocity
equals the object’s average speed.

(d) The motion of a freely falling body is an example of uniformly accelerated

motion.

(e) The distance is half the circumference. Therefore,

Distance = 2πR2= πR

Displacement = 2R

Question 62. Why is a circulating fan an example of non–uniform motion?

Image Source: Oswal CBSE CCE question bank

Answer 63:
 1. OA represents uniform acceleration, and AB represents zero acceleration or
constant velocity.
2. The velocity of the body after 10 s is 20 m/s. After 40 s, the body comes to
rest.
3. Negative acceleration or retardation is calculated as:
Retardation = 0-2040-30 = -2 m/s2

1. To calculate the distance between 10th and 30th second

= (30 -10)s × 20 m/s = 400m

Question 64. A 100 m long train crosses a 500 m long bridge at 30 m/s. Find the
time taken by the bridge to cross it.

Answer 64. Length of train = 100 m

Length of bridge = 500 m

Total length of path covered by train = 500m + 100m = 600 m

Since speed of train is 30 m/s

Therefore, time taken to cover the bridge = distance/speed = 600/30 = 20 s

what will be the velocity after 15 s ?
Answer 65. (a) The path is a straight line in uniform motion.

(b) A bus moving on a hilly road is an example of non-uniform motion.

(c) Since A has a steeper slope, the slope of velocity is more.

(d) Since the motion is uniform, the velocity is 15m/s even after 15 s.
Question 65. A stone is thrown vertically upwards with an initial velocity of 40
m/s. Find the maximum height reached by the stone. What are the net
displacement and the total distance covered by the stone?

Answer 65. Given that

Initial velocity = 40 m/s

Final velocity = 0

v2 = u2 + 2gh

v2 – u2 = 2gh

v2 – u2/2g = h

h = (0)2 – (40)2/ 2 × 10 = +40 × 40/+2 × 10 = 80m

As directions are opposite and the stone returns back to origin, displacement is
zero.

Total distance covered = 80 + 80 = 160 m

Question 66. A cheetah can accelerate from rest at the rate of 4m/s2

 What will be the velocity attained by it in 10s?

 How far will it travel in this duration?

1. To calculate velocity attained in 10 s,

Initial velocity = u = 0

Acceleration = a = 4m/s 2

v = u + at = 0 + 4 × 10 = 40 m/s

1. v2 = u2 + 2as
v2 = (0)2 + 2as

v2 = 2as

s = v2/2a = 40 × 40/ 2 × 4 = 1600/8 = 200m

Answer 67.

1. In accelerated motion, speed remains constant and the velocity of the body
changes.
2. The velocity of a particle changes continuously during uniform circular
motion.
3. The motion of satellites around the earth is accelerated because speed is
constant and the direction of motion changes continuously.
Question 68.

 Derive the equation of motion, S = ut + ½ at2 by graphical method.

 Which of the two bodies A and B in the following graph is moving at a
higher speed and why?
Answer 68:

1. Suppose the object travels distance S in time t. Uniform acceleration is a.

In the graph given, the distance travelled by the object is obtained by the area
enclosed within OABC under velocity-time graph AB.

Distance S = area OABC which is trapezium

= area of the rectangle OADC + area of the triangle ABD

= OA × OC + ½ ( AD × BD)

OA = u

OC = AD = t

BD = at

On substituting the values, we get

S = u × t + ½ (t × at)
S = ut + ½ at 2

Question 69.

Derive v2 – u2 = 2as using velocity-time graph.

 A ball is dropped from a height of 20 m. if its velocity increases
uniformly at the rate of 10 m/s, with what velocity will it strike the
ground?
Answer 69.

The velocity-time graph for uniform acceleration is given below.

To derive the third equation of motion,

s = area of the trapezium OABC

s = ½ ( sum of parallel sides) × perpendicular distance between the two parallel

sides

s = ½ (OA + BC) × OC

After putting respective values in the equation we get,

S = ½ ( u + v) × t ………………(1)

We know that v = u + at

t = (v -u ) / a
putting the value of t in equation 1 we get,

s = ½ (u + v) × (v – u)/a

2as = (u +v) (v – u) = v2 – u2

The final equation is 2as = v2 – u2

Hence derived.

Image source: Oswal CBSE CCE question bank

 u=0
s = 20 m

a = 10 m/s 2

v=?

v2 = u2 + 2as

v2 = 0 + 2 × 10 × 20

v2 = 400

therefore v = 20 m/s

Question 70. Study the velocity-time graph and calculate the following:

Image source: Oswal CBSE CCE question bank

 The acceleration from A to B

 The acceleration from B to C
 The distance covered in the region ABE

 The distance covered in the region BCFE
Answer 70. (a) To calculate acceleration from A to B

a = (25-0)(3-0) = 8.3 m/s2

(b) Acceleration from B to C = a = (20-25)(4-3) = -5m/s2

(c) Distance covered in the ABE region:

= ½ × 3 × 25

= 37.5 m

(d) Average velocity = V = (20 – 0)/2 = 10m/s

(e) Area BCFE is a trapezium.

Distance covered in BCFE = ½ (25 + 20) × (4 – 3) = 22.5 m

Question 71.

 Give one similarity and difference in the graph given below:

 What is meant by acceleration being positive and negative? Give
example.
Image source: Oswal CBSE CCE question bank

Answer 71:

1. The similarity is both the graphs are showing uniform acceleration.

The dissimilarity is

 In the first graph, u = 0. The body starts from rest.

 In the second graph, the initial velocity is non-zero.
1. Positive acceleration is in the direction of velocity. For example, a bus moves
at an increasing speed.
Negative acceleration, in this, acceleration is opposite to the direction of velocity.
For example, the speed of a moving car suddenly decreases when a brake is
applied.

Question 72.

 When is a body said to be in uniform and non-uniform acceleration?

 A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for 30 s to acquire a
velocity of 108 km/h. It travels with this velocity for 20 min. The driver
now applies breaks and the train retards uniformly to stop after 20 s.
Find the total distance covered by the train.
Answer 72.
 1. A body is said to be in uniform acceleration when it travels in a straight path
and velocity increases or decreases in equal time intervals.
When a body travels in a straight path and velocity increases or decreases in an
unequal amount in an equal interval of time, it is said to be in non-uniform
acceleration.

1. In the given question,

The train is starting from rest.

u = 0, t = 30 s , v = 108 km/h

converting 108 km/h to m/s,

= 108 × 5/18 = 30 m/s

a = v-u/t = 1m/s2

Distance s1 = ut + ½ at2 = 0 + ½ × 1 × 30 × 30 = 450m

At uniform velocity of 30 m/s for 20 min = 1200 s

Distance s2 = 30 × 1200 = 36000 m

When brake is applied,

t = 20s

u = 30 m/s

v=0

a = v – u /t

a = 0 – 30 / 20 = -1.5 m/s 2

to calculate s3

s3 = v2 -u2 / 2a = 0 – (30)2 / 2 × 1.5 = 300m

total distance = s1 + s2 + s3 = 450 + 36000 + 300 = 36750 m.

1. Total distance covered = s = 2πr ×t

s = 2 × 22/7 × 63 × 63

= 1188 m

1. The net displacement is zero.

2. Speed = distance covered / time taken
Time = 3 min = 180 s

Speed = 1188/180 = 6.6 m/s

Question 76. Give an example where motion is inferred indirectly.

Answer 76. Motion is inferred indirectly in many ways, like the movement of leaves,
dust particles, and branches of trees. It can be in the form of the feeling of blowing
air on the face.

Question 77. State the type of force – balanced or unbalanced, that acts on a
rubber ball when we press it between our hands. Give a reason for your
answer and mention the effect produced in the ball by this force.

Answer 77. A balanced force is acting on a rubber ball when it is pressed between
our hands. Because an equal and opposite force is changing the shape of a ball.
