3. Answer (4)
Gm0 mB
Since an object is moving with constant speed FB =
rB2
without changing its direction. Therefore, it will
cover equal distances in equal interval of time. Hence, for FA + FB = 0
Hence, the object is in uniform motion. ⇒ FA = –FB
4. Answer (1)
Then, possible cases are,
Initial speed (u) = 108 km/h = 30 m/s
(1) mA m
= = and rA2 rB2
Speed after 5 s = 90 km/h = 25 m/s B

Then, (2) mA > mB and rA2 > rB2

25 − 30
a= = −1m/s2 (3) mA < mB and rA2 < rB2

Again, v = u + at 6. Answer (3)

0 = 30 – 1 × t Action and reaction forces are always equal in

magnitude and opposite in direction.
∴ t = 30 seconds

Action and reaction forces act on different bodies
and different bodies may have different masses.
Therefore, acceleration produced may not be
equal in magnitude.
7. Answer A(P, R), B(Q), C(S), D(Q, S)
(A) An object is said to be in uniform motion, when
its speed is constant.
(Class IX Studying Moving to Class X) - Sample Paper
(B) An object is said to be accelerating, when its
speed is increasing.
(C) An object is said to be retarding, when its
speed is decreasing.
(D) An object is said to be in non-uniform motion,
when its speed is changing.

22. Answer (2) 25. Answer (1)

15 (30 − 5 3) (30 − 5 3) ( 5 + 3) − 8
x= 4 − y = ×
6 8 + 5 + 3 ( 5 + 3) + 8 ( 5 + 3) − 8
∴ No such pair of values of x and y are possible
for which x and y are natural numbers. 26. Answer (1, 3, 4)
23. Answer (2) Here x + y = 180°
3(2p – 3) –5(p) = 6 8
∴ p = 15 and x > × 90° i.e., x > 144°

Here x 2 + x − 3 + 3 = ( x + 3)( x − 3 + 1)

Here, ∆ADB ≅ ∆ADC 27x6 + y 3 = (3x2 + y)(9x4 – 3x2y + y2)

AD = BD = CD = 2 2 cm (x – y – 2)3 – x3 + y3 + 8 = 3(x – y)(y + 2)(x – 2)
∴ AB2 + AC2 = BC2 (By Pythagoras theorem) and x3 – 9x2 + 26x – 24 = (x – 2)(x – 3)(x – 4)
