ASSIGNMENT O1

MOTION CLASS IX
1. Define scalar and vector quantities.
2. Identify the following as scalar or vector quantities:- mass, velocity, speed,
length, distance, displacement, temperature, force, weight, power, work and
energy.

3. Under what condition, the average speed is equal to the magnitude of the
average velocity.
4. Can the average speed of a moving body be zero?
5. Can the average velocity of a moving body be zero? State examples.
6. Can an object be accelerated if it is moving with constant speed? If yes, explain
giving examples.
7. (i) When do you say that an object has positive acceleration?
(ii) When do you say that an object has negative acceleration?
8. What is unit of acceleration?
9. A body goes from point A to B and then return then from B to A. what is the total
displacement?
10. Acceleration is a vector quantity True or false?
11. What is the path of a velocity –time graph of a body moving with uniform
acceleration
12. What all ways the velocity of the body can be changed?
13. What is average speed?
14. Can the average speed of a moving object be zero? Why?
15. Name the physical quantity that corresponds to the rate of change of distance.
16. Give one example each to differentiate between uniform acceleration and non
uniform acceleration.
17. What is the shape of the path of a body when it is in uniform motion?
18. What will you say about the motion of a body if its d-t graph is a straight line
having a constant angle with time axis?
19. A physical quantity measured is -10 m/s .is it a speed o velocity?
20. DIFFERENCES BETWEEN
I0 distance and displacement
ii) speed and velocity
iii)uniform and non uniform motion
iv)positive and negative acceleration
v)uniform and non uniform acceleration
