Q.1:Define Kinematics?
Ans.1:The first thing concerning the motion of an object is its
Kinematics.Kinematics is the study of motion of an object without
discussing the cause of motion.
Q.2: Differenciate between rest and motion of our body?
Ans.2:A body is said to be at rest, it does not change its position with
respect to its surroundings.
A body is said to be in motion, if it changes it position with respect to
its surroundings.
Q.3:Define surroundings of an object?
Ans.3:We see various things around us. Some of them are at rest while
others are in motion. Surroundings are the places in its neighbourhood
where various objects are present.
Q.4:Give an example of body is at rest and in motion at the same
time?
Ans.4:A passenger sitting in a moving bus is at rest because he/she is
not changing his/her position with respect to other passengers or
objects in the bus. But the observer outside the bus, the passengers and
the objects inside the bus are in motion.

Q.6:How many types of motion are there?
Ans.6:There are three types of motion.
(a) Translatory motion (linear, random, and circular).
(b) Rotatory motion.
(c) Vibratory motion (to and fro motion).
Q.7:Define Translatory motion?
Ans.7:In translational motion, a body moves along a line without any
rotation. The line may be straight or curved.
Q.8:What is the type of motion if aeroplane or a car move with?
Ans.8:A car and an aeroplane moving along a straight line are in
linear motion.
Q.9: How many divisions of a translatory motion are?

Q.11:What type of path followed by a stone?
Ans.11:A stone tied at the end of a string can be made to whirl. The
stone moves in a circle and thus has circular motion.
Q.12:Define Circular motion?
 3

Ans.15:The Brownian motion of gas or liquid molecules along a zig-
zag path is an example of Random motion.
Q.16:Define an axis?

Q.17:Define Rotatory motion?
Ans.17:The spinning motion of a body about its axis is called its
rotatory motion.
Q.18:Write an example of rotatory motion?
Ans.18:The motion of a wheel about its axis and that of a steering
wheel are the examples of rotatory motion.
Q.19:Define Vibratory Motion?
Ans.19:To or fro motion of a body about its mean position is known as
vibratory motion.
Q.20:Write any two examples of Vibratory Motion?

(2) Vibratory motion of a pendulum and a clock.
Q.21:What is meant by magnitude of a quantity?
Ans.21:Magnitude of a quantity means its numerical value with an
appropriate unit such as 2.5kg, 40s, 1.8m, ect.
Q.22:What is scalar quantity?
Ans.22:A scalar quantity is described completely by its magnitude
only.
Q.23:Write the examples of scalar quantities?
Ans.23:Examples of scalars are mass, length, time, speed, volume,
work, and energy.
Q.24:What is a vector quantity?
Ans.24:A vector quantity is described completely by magnitude and
direction.
Q.25:Write the examples of vector quantities?
Ans.25:Examples of vectors are velocity, displacement, force,
momentum, torque, etc.
Q.26:Define Symbolic Representation?
Ans.26:To differentiate a vector from a scalar quantity, we generally
use bold letters to represent vector quantities. Such as F, a, d or a bar
or arrow over their symbols such as , , or , , and .
Q.27:Define Graphical Representation?
 5

Ans.27:Graphically, a vector can be represented by a line segment

with an arrow head. In figure 2.14, the line AB with arrow head at B
represents a vector V. The length of the line AB gives the magnitude of
the vector V on a selected scale. While the direction of the vector V.

Figure 2.14: Graphical Representation of a vector V.

Q.28:Define the term Position?

Ans.28:The term position describes the location of a place or a point
with respect to some reference point called origen.
Q.29:Write an example of the term position?
Ans.29:For example, you want to describe the position of your school
from your home. Let the school be represented by S and home by H.
The position of your school from your home will be represented by a
straight line HS in the direction from H to S as shown in figure 2.16.

Q.30:What is Distance?
Ans.30:Length of a path between two points is called the distance
between two points.
Q.31:What is Displacement?
Ans.31:Displacement is the shortest distance between two points
which has magnitude and direction.
Q.32:Which is the fastest animal on the Earth?
Ans.32:Falcon can fly at a speed of 200 kmh.

Falcon.
Q.33:Define Speed?
 7

Ans.33:The distance covered by an object in unit time is called its

speed.

Ans.34: Speed =
OR
V=
Q.35:What is the nature of speed?
Ans.35:Speed is a scalar quantity.
Q.36:Write the SI unit of Speed?
Ans.36:The SI unit of Speed is metre per second (ms-1).
Q.37:What is uniform speed?
Ans.37:A body has uniform speed if it covers equal distances in equal
intervals of time however short the interval may be.
Q.38:What is a LIDAR Gun?
Ans.38:A motorway speed camera is known as LIDAR Gun. A LIDAR
Gun is a light detection and ranging speed gun. It uses the time taken
by laser pulse to make a series of a vehicle’s distance from the gun.
The data is then used to calculate the vehicle’s Speed.
