01. MOTION
1. “She moves at a constant speed in a constant direction.” . Rephrase the same sentence
in fewer words using concepts related to motion.
A. She moves with uniform velocity.
2. Distance Vs time graphs showing motion of two cars A and B are given. Which car
moves fast ?
s
A. Speed = = slope of the graph
Car ‘A’ travels more distance in less time.
It represents the slope of the curve of it. So car ‘A’ moves fast.
3. Distinguish between speed and velocity. t
Speed Velocity
1 The distance travelled by the body in 1 The displacement of the body in
unit time. unit time.
2 It is a scalar. 2 It is a vector.
3 Its value is always positive or zero. 3 Its value may positive or zero or negative.
4 Speed = 4 Velocity =

4. What do you mean by constant acceleration?


A. If a body travels in straight line and its velocity changes (increase or decrease) by equal
amount in equal time intervals, Then the acceleration is said to be uniform acceleration or
constant acceleration.
5. Correct your friend who says, “ The car rounded the curve at a constant velocity of
70km/h”.
A. (i) While a body is moving along a curved path, the direction changes continuously.
(ii) So we should not use velocity. Velocity is a vector.
(iii) We should use speed term. Speed is a scalor.
(iv) The correct statement is “ The car rounded the curve at a constant speed of 70 ℎ.
6. When the velocity is constant, can the average velocity over any time interval differ
from instantaneous velocity at any instant? If so, give an example; if not explain why?
A. (i) Constant velocity means both magnitude and direction are constant.
(ii) If velocity is constant, the average velocity over any time interval is equal to instantaneous
velocity at any time.
⃗ = ⃗
7. Can the direction of velocity of an object reverse when it’s acceleration is constant ?
If so give an example; if not, explain why?
A. (i) In case of vertically projected body; at the maximum height of the body, the velocity is zero.
(ii) It falls freely.
(iii) It means its velocity was reversed.
(iv) Acceleration due to gravity is constant and its value is 9.8 m/s2.

12. Two trains, each having a speed of 30km/h, are headed at each other on the same track.
A bird flies off one train to another with a constant speed of 60km/h when they are 60km
apart till before they crash. Find the distance covered by the bird and how many trips
the bird can make from one train to other before they crash?
A. Two trains are travelling opposite to each other on the same track.
Speed of each train = 30 Km/h
Relative speed of trains = 30 + 30 = 60 Km/h
The distance between two trains = 60 Km
The taken for train to reach together =

02. LAWS OF MOTION
1. Explain the reasons for the following.
a) When a carpet is beaten with a stick, dust comes out of it.
b) Luggage kept on the roof of a bus is tied with a rope.
c) A pace bowler in cricket runs in from a long distance before he bowls..
A. (a) When a carpet is beaten with a stick, the dust particles comes out of it due to static inertia.
Actually on beating, the carpet moved and the dust particles still remains their position due
to static inertia. So they comes out of it.
(b) If the luggage kept on the roof of a bus is not tied with a rope, due to dynamic inertia they
can fall down from the top of the bus when the bus stopped suddenly. So they were tied with
a rope.
(c) A pace bowler in cricket runs in from a long distance before he bowls, to give sufficient
dynamic inertia to the ball.
2. Two objects have masses 8kg and 25kg. Which one has more inertia? Why?
A. (i) The mass of an object is a measure of inertia.
(ii) If mass of object increases, the inertia of that object also increases.
(iii) So the object having 25 Kg. mass has more inertia than the 8 Kg. object.
3. What is the momentum of a 6.0 kg bowling ball with a velocity of 2.2 m/s?
A. Mass of the ball (m) = 6.0 Kg
Velocity of the ball (v) = 2.2 m/s
Momentum (P) = mv = 6.0 x 2.2 = 13.2 Kg.m/s
4. Two people push a car for 3 s with a combined net force of 200 N.
(a) Calculate the impulse provided to the car.
(b) If the car has a mass of 1200 kg, what will be its change in velocity?
A. (a) Net force applied on car (F) = 200 N
Time (t) = 3 sec.
Impulse =Fxt = 200 x 3 = 600 N-s.
(b) Mass of the car (m) = 1200 Kg.
Net force applied (F) = 200 N
Time (t) = 3 sec
Impulse = Change in momentum
F x t = m (v-u)
200 x 3 = 1200 (v-u)
600 = 1200 (v-u)
v-u = = = 0.5 m/s
Change in velocity = 0.5 m/s

5. What force required to produce an acceleration of 3 m/s in an object of mass 0.7 Kg.?
A. Mass of the object (m) = 0.7 Kg.
Acceleration (a) = 3 m/s2
The required force (F) = ma = 0.7 x 3 = 2.1 N
6. An object of mass 5 Kg is moving with a velocity of 10 ms-1. A force is applied so that in
20 s, it attains a velocity of 25 ms-1. What is the force applied on the object?
A. Mass of object (m) = 5 Kg.
Initial velocity (u) = 10 m/s
Time (t) = 20 s
Final velocity (v) = 25 m/s
Applied force (F) = ma = m =5x =5x = = 3.75 N
7. Illustrate an example of each of the three laws of motion.
A. Newton’s first law of motion: A body continues its state of rest or uniform motion unless a net
force acts on it.
Ex: When the bus which is at rest begins to move suddenly, the person standing in the bus falls
backward. This happens because, the net force not acts on the person, so that he still remains
his state of motion.
Newton’s second law of motion: The rate of change of momentum of a body is directly
proportional to the net force acting on it . And it takes place in the direction of net force.
Ex: The fielder while catching a fast moving ball, pulls back his arms to experience the smaller
force on his hands. This is due to change in momentum takes a long time.
Newton’s third law of motion: For every action, there should be equal and opposite reaction.
Ex: When birds fly, they push the air downwards with wings and the air pushes back the bird in
upward direction with same force. This way the birds can fly.
8. If a fly colloids with the wind shield of a fast moving bus,
(a) is the impact force experienced , same for the fly and bus? Why?
(b) Is the same acceleration experienced by the fly and the bus? Why?
A. (a) The impact of force experienced by the bus and fly are same. (As per Newton’s third law of
motion force and anti forces are equal and in opposite direction.)
(b) The acceleration of the bus and fly are different. It depends upon various factors. In general
more mass gets less acceleration. So the acceleration of bus is less.
9. Divya observed a horse pulling a cart. She thought that cart also pulls the horse with
same force in opposite direction. As per third law of motion the cart should not move
forward. But her observation of moving cart raised some questions in her mind. Can you
guess what questions were raised in her mind?

. Sreekar Publications Physical Science For Copies Contact : 6305842789 Page 10


CLASS-09 STUDENT NOTES PHYSICAL SCIENCE
A. The following questions may arise to divya :
(i) How much force applied by horse on the floor?
(ii) There are two forces. The force by horse on cart and the force by cart on horse. Are the
forces same ?
(iii) How the cart moves?
(iv) Why the cart apply force on the floor to pull cart?
10. How do you appreciate Galileo’s thought of “any moving body continues in the state
only until some external force acts on it.” Which is a contradiction to the Aristotle’s
belief of “any moving body naturally comes to rest.”
A. (i) Aristotle believed that any moving body comes to rest naturally. It may be true.
(ii) But Galileo thought that any moving body continues its state only until some external force
acts on it.
(iii) Also he proved his statement with the experiments of an inclined plane.
(iv) He stated that if no force acts on a body, it moves to infinite distance.
(v) This leads to developments in various concepts in dynamics.
(vi) So I appreciate Galileo’s thought.
11. If a car is traveling westwards with a constant speed of 20 m/s, what is the resultant
force acting on it?
A. The car is travelling with a constant speed. So no net force acts on it.
12. A man of mass 30 Kg uses a rope to climb which bears only 450N. What is the
maximum acceleration with which he can climb safely?
A. Mass of the man (m) = 30 Kg
Tension in the rope (T) = 450 N
Maximum acceleration (a) = ?
T=F
T = ma
450 = 30 x a
a=

a = 15 m/s2
13. A passenger in moving train tosses a coin which falls behind him. It means that the
motion of the train is ….
(a) Accelerated (b) Uniform (c) Retarded (d) Circular motion
A. Accelerated motion in particular conditions.
But in general the coin fall in the hand.

Plastic lids-2, Scissors-1, Glue, Beads-32)
(ii) Collect the material from home or shop.
(iii) Drill 16 equidistance hole at the edges of both CD’s.
(iv) Fit 16 sticks through the holes tightly. (for 2 CD’s)
(v) Insert one bead in each stick.
(vi) Fix second CD through stick to form like a cage.
(vi) Make one hole at the middle on the two plastic lids.
(vii) Fix the lids at the middle of the CD’s at out side.
(viii) Insert cycle spoke through the lids at the center.
(ix) Dynamic wave model is ready.
(x) Arrange a stand for the model.

Note : Don’t copy the procedure. Change it according to your work.


One team can make only one model.
Procedure and other works should be written in all record books.
