1. A boy runs for 20 min. at a uniform speed of 18km/h. At what speed should he
run for the next 40 min. so that the average speed comes 24km/hr. (Ans: 27km/h)
2. A bus travelling the first one-third distance at a speed of 10 km/h, the next one-third at 20
km/h and the last one-third at 60 km/h. The average speed of the bus is ? ( Ans: 18km/h )
3. It took 2s after lightening for the sound of thunder to reach you,how far did the lightening
struck ? Given speed of sound is 343 m/s ( Ans: 686m)
4. Which of the following represents uniform motion? What does the path look like for
uniform motion ?
5. Calculate the acceleration of a body which starts from rest and travels 87.5m in 5sec?
6. An object starting from rest travels 20 m in first 2 seconds and 160 m in next 4 seconds. What
will be the velocity after 7 seconds from the start? ( Ans:7m/s^2)
7. A body starts to slide over a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 0.5 m/s. Due to
friction, its velocity decreased at the rate of 0.05 m/s^2 . How much time will it take for the
body to stop? ( Ans: 10s)
8. A bullet leaves a rifle with a muzzle velocity of 1042 m/s. While accelerating
through the barrel of the rifle, the bullet moves a distance of 1.680 m. Determine
the acceleration of the bullet (assume a uniform acceleration) .How much time
will it take for the bullet to leave the rifle. ( Ans:3.23×105 m/s^2,3.22
milliseconds)
9. A bike riding at 22.4 m/s skids to come to a halt in 2.55 s. Conclude the skidding
distance of the bike and acceleration.( Ans:28.6m )
10. A car is traveling at 20 m/s along a road. A child runs out into the road 50 m ahead and the car
driver steps on the brake pedal. What must the car's deceleration be if the car is to stop just
before it reaches the child ? ( Ans: 4m/s^2)
Q.11
Q.12 Describe the motion of a body traveling in a straight line whose velocity-time graph is
given below. At what time does the body reverse its direction of motion? Find the
acceleration acting on the body between A and B, B and C, C and D
Q.13
( Hint: Slope gives speed. Is the slope increasing or decreasing between the intervals ?)
