Q:-1 Define the following terms: - 2 Marks

1) Displacement 2) Distance 3) Average Speed 4) Average Velocity

Answer:-

Displacement:- it is the shortest distance between initial and final position of an object in motion during a
particular interval of time. – ½ mark

Distance:- it is the actual path length between initial and final position of an object in motion during a
particular interval of time. – ½ mark

Average Speed:- Time rate of change of position of an object during a particular interval of time is called
Average speed. Mathematically,

Average speed = - ½ mark

Average Velocity:- Time rate of change of displacement of an object during a particular interval of time is
called Average velocity. Mathematically,

Average Velocity = - ½ mark

Q:-2 A boy walks to his home at a distance of 3 Km with constant speed of 6 Km/Hr and retuns back with a
constant speed of 9 Km/Hr. Find - 3 Marks

1) His displacement and total distance covered in his trip.

2) His average speed and and his average velocity.

Ans:- 1) Displacement = Zero (Because initial and final position will be same)
Total Distance = 3 + 3 = 6 Km - 1 mark

3
2) Time taken in onward journey = = ½ Hr

Time taken in return journey = = 1/3 Hr - ½ mark

6 66
Average Speed = = = 7.2 Km/Hr - ½ mark
5 5
6
Average Velocity = zero , because his displacement is zero – ½ mark

Q:-3 With the help of following data of motion of an object , draw a position time graph and from this graph
answer the following - 3 Mark

Position 10 20 30 40 50
(in metre)
Time 2 4 6 8 10
(in Seconds)
1) Slope of position time graph.
2) Velocity of object
Ans:-

- 1 marks

1) Slope of graph = 5 -1 mark

2) Velocity = we know slope of position time graph gives us velocity, so velocity is 5 m/s. -1 mark

Q:-4 An object start from rest (Its initial velocity is zero) and picks up speed of 36 Km/Hr in 2 in minutes
(assuming it is moving with constant acceleration). Find its uniform acceleration in metre/second.- 2 – marks

Ans: -

We have:- v = u + at ; - ½ mark

Here, u = initial velocity, given u = 0

5
v = 32 Km/Hr = 36  = 10 m/s
18

t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds - 1 mark

therefore , acceleration a = 10/120 = 1/12 ms-2 - ½ mark
