SECTION – B
Questions 11 to 14 carry 2 marks each.
11. A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration attains a speed 40
km h–1 in 10 minutes. Find its acceleration.
Ans:
Given parameters
Initial velocity (u) = 0

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 2 -

 Final velocity (v) = 40 km/h
v = 40 × (5/18)
v = 11.1111 m/s
Time (t) = 10 minute
t = 60 x 10
t = 600 s
Acceleration (a) =?
Consider the formula
v = u + at
11.11 = 0 + a × 600
11,11 = 600 a
a = 11.11/600
a = 0.0185 ms-2

12. A bus decreases its speed from 80 km h–1 to 60 km h–1 in 5 s. Find the acceleration of the bus.
Ans: Given, the initial velocity (u) = 80km/hour = 80000m/3600s= 22.22 m.s-1
The final velocity (v) = 60km/hour = 60000m/3600s= 16.66 m.s-1
Time frame, t = 5 seconds.
Therefore, acceleration (a) =(v-u)/t = (16.66 m.s-1 – 22.22 m.s-1)/5s
= -1.112 m.s-2
Therefore, the total acceleration of the bus is -1.112m.s-2. It can be noted that the negative sign
indicates that the velocity of the bus is decreasing.

13. A body is thrown vertically upwards with a velocity and caught back.
(a) What is its displacement and distance travelled?
(b) How do the displacement and distance change if its velocity of projection is halved?
Ans: (a) Displacement = zero; distance = twice the height reached by the body.
(b) Displacement remains unchanged, i.e. zero.
Distance travelled reduces as h = u2/2a (where u is velocity of projection and a is acceleration
during vertical motion).

14. Distinguish between uniform and non uniform acceleration.

Ans:
Uniform acceleration Non-uniform acceleration
• The velocity of the body changes
• The velocity of the body changes
regularly with time.
irregularly with time.
• The velocity-time graph is a straight
• The velocity-time graph is a
line inclined at x-axis, having positive
curve or irregularly shaped.
or negative slope.

SECTION – C
Questions 15 to 17 carry 3 marks each.

15. A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 m s-2 for 2 minutes. Find (a)
the speed acquired, (b) the distance travelled.
Ans: (a) Given, the bus starts from rest. Therefore, initial velocity (u) = 0 m/s
Acceleration (a) = 0.1 m.s-2
Time = 2 minutes = 120 s
Acceleration is given by the equation a=(v-u)/t
Therefore, terminal velocity (v) = (at)+u
= (0.1 m.s-2 * 120 s) + 0 m.s-1
= 12 m.s-1 + 0 m.s-1
Therefore, terminal velocity (v) = 12 m/s

 (b) As per the third motion equation, 2as = v2 – u2
Since a = 0.1 m.s-2, v = 12 m.s-1, u = 0 m.s-1, and t = 120 s, the following value for s (distance)
can be obtained.
Distance, s =(v2 – u2)/2a
=(122 – 02)/2(0.1)
Therefore, s = 720 m.
The speed acquired is 12 m.s-1 and the total distance travelled is 720 m.

16. What type of motion is represented by following displacement-time graph:

Ans: (a) Linear motion with constant velocity.

(b) Linear motion with constant velocity after which the direction of motion reverses and body
moves with constant velocity.
(c) Non-uniform motion.

17. A stone is thrown in a vertically upward direction with a velocity of 5 m s-1. If the acceleration of
the stone during its motion is 10 m s–2 in the downward direction, what will be the height
attained by the stone and how much time will it take to reach there?
Ans: Given, initial velocity (u) = 5 m/s
Terminal velocity (v) = 0 m/s (since the stone will reach a position of rest at the point of
maximum height)
Acceleration = 10 ms-2 in the direction opposite to the trajectory of the stone = -10 ms-2
As per the third motion equation, v2 – u2 = 2as
Therefore, the distance travelled by the stone (s) = (02 – 52)/ 2(10)
Distance (s) = 1.25 meters
As per the first motion equation, v = u + at
Therefore, time taken by the stone to reach a position of rest (maximum height) = (v – u) /a
=(0-5)/-10 s
Time taken = 0.5 seconds
Therefore, the stone reaches a maximum height of 1.25 meters in a timeframe of 0.5 seconds.

 SECTION – E (Case Study Based Questions)
Questions 19 to 20 carry 4 marks each.

19. Read the following information and answer the questions based on information and related
studied concepts.
Ritesh was driving car to his office. When suddenly a boy came in between the road, he applied
brakes suddenly to save the child and the car came to the rest. The whole scenario was observed
by Sita and she draws the velocity-time graph regarding the situation.

(a) Calculate the displacement of the car after 20 seconds?

(b) After deceleration, how far does the car go?
(c) Describe the motion of the car from 0 s to 30 s.
Ans: (a) The area under the line on a velocity-time graph is equal to the displacement of the
object.
The car’s displacement is equal to the rectangle’s area in 20 seconds.
Displacement = Area of rectangle
s = 20 s × 12 m/s
⇒ s = 240 m
(b) The area of the triangle is equal to the displacement while decelerating.
Time = (30–20) s =10 s
Displacement while deceleration = Area of rectangle
s = 1/2 × 10 s × 12 m/s

Prepared by: M. S. KumarSwamy, TGT(Maths) Page - 6 -

 ⇒ s = 60 m
While decelerating, the car moves 60 metres.
(c) Displacement of the car = Area under the graph of velocity time graph
= Area of rectangle + Area of triangle
= 20 s × 12 m/s + (1/2 × 10 s × 12 m/s)
= 240 m + 60 m
= 300 m
Total time = 30 seconds
The average velocity of the car, v = Total Displacement/Time taken
= 300m/30s = 10 m/s
So, the average velocity of a car is 10 m/s.

20. Read the given passage and answer the questions that follow based on the passage and
related studied concepts.
A bus is moving with a velocity of 50 km/h. The driver sees a child running across the road and
he pressed the brakes. The time taken by him to stop the bus in this emergency was 1/10 th of a
second. In a second case, another bus was coming on the same road at the same 50 km/h and the
driver saw another child crossing the road. He applied the brakes and time taken by him to the
emergency was 0.5 sec. Both the buses started moving to their destination after 10 minutes. Bus
A moved at 45 km/h while bus B moved at 60 km/h.

(a) What is the distance between buses A and B?

(b) How much distance did the bus move in the 1st case before the driver could press the brakes?
How much is the distance between bus A and bus B after 1.5 hours?
(c) How much distance did the bus move in the 2nd case before the driver could press the
brakes?
Ans: (a) Velocity of bus A = 45 km/h
Distance covered in 1.5 hours = Velocity × Time = 45 × 1.5 = 67.5 km
Velocity of bus B = 60 km/h
Distance covered in 1.5 hours = 60 × 1.5 = 90 km
The distance between bus A and bus B is 90 km – 67.5 km = 22.5 km
(b) Initial velocity of the bus, u = 50 km/h. = 50 × 5/18
= 250/18 m/s
Distance moved by the bus in 1/10 th of a second
= Velocity of the bus × Time interval
= 250/18 × 1/10
= 1.39 m.
(c) In the 2nd case, distance covered by the bus in 0.5 sec.
= Velocity of the bus × Time interval
= 250/18 × 0.5 = 6.9 m
