1 Are rest and motion absolute or relative terms?

◦ Rest and motion are relative terms because they depend on the observer’s frame of
reference. For example, a person sitting in a moving train is at rest relative to the train
but in motion relative to someone on the ground.
2 What is the net displacement and distance if a ball is thrown upwards and returns to the
same point?
◦ Net displacement: 0, since the starting and ending points are the same.
◦ Distance travelled: The sum of the upward and downward paths. If the height
reached is ‘h,’ the total distance will be 2h.
3 Which speed is greater: 30 m/s or 30 km/h?
◦ 30 m/s is greater. When converted, 30 m/s = 108 km/h, so it is faster than 30 km/h.
4 What do you mean by 2 m/s²?
◦ It indicates an acceleration of 2 meters per second every second, meaning the
velocity increases by 2 m/s every second.
5 Can uniform linear motion be accelerated?
◦ No. In uniform linear motion, the object moves with constant speed in a straight
line, so acceleration is zero. Acceleration only occurs if there is a change in speed or
direction.
6 What is essential to describe the position of an object?
◦ A reference point, along with the distance and direction from that point, is
necessary to describe the position of an object accurately.
7 What is the simplest type of motion?
◦ Linear motion (movement along a straight path) is the simplest type of motion.
8 If the displacement is zero, is the distance covered also zero?
◦ No. For example, if an object moves in a circular path and returns to its starting point,
the displacement is zero, but the distance covered is the circumference of the circle.
9 Does the speedometer of a car measure its average speed?
◦ No, the speedometer measures the instantaneous speed—the speed of the car at a
particular moment.
10 If a body moves at 10 m/s uniformly, what will be its velocity after 10 seconds?

• The velocity will still be 10 m/s because the object is in uniform motion, meaning the speed
remains constant throughout.
11 Give an example of a body that may appear to be moving for one person but stationary
for another.
• A person sitting on a moving train appears stationary to other passengers inside the train but
is moving relative to someone standing on the platform.
12 What do you mean by average speed? What are its units?
• Average speed is the total distance traveled divided by the total time taken. Its units are m/s
(in SI units) or km/h (in everyday use).
13 What is the difference between uniform and non-uniform velocity?
• Uniform velocity: The object covers equal distances in equal time intervals in a straight line.
• Non-uniform velocity: The object’s speed or direction changes over time.
14 What is negative acceleration?
• Negative acceleration, also called deceleration, occurs when the velocity of an object
decreases over time. For example, a car slowing down applies negative acceleration.
15 What is the displacement after half a circle?
• The displacement after half a circle is equal to the diameter of the circle, which is 2r, where
‘r’ is the radius of the circle.
