Revision Worksheet
Q1) (a) Velocity is the __________ of a distance vs time graph.

(b) if the graph is not a _________ line, then use the slope of a _________ line
drawn to that point.

Q2) The graph shows the height of a ball thrown straight up vs time. Find the
velocity of the ball at 2 seconds.

Q3) The spine-tailed swift is the fastest bird in power flight. On one flight, a
particular bird flies 306 m east, then turns around and flies 406.5 back west.
This flight takes 15 s. What is the bird’s average velocity? What is its average
speed?

Q4) A train moving with a velocity of 20 m/s is brought to rest by applying

brakes in 5s.Calculate the retardation.

Q5) A car travels with a uniform velocity of 25 m/s for 5 s. The brakes are then
applied and the car is uniformly retarded and comes to rest in further 10 s.
Find

(i) the distance which the car travels before the brakes are applied

(ii)the distance travelled by the car after applying the brakes.

Q6) Fig. 1.1 shows part of the speed-time graphs for a cyclist and for a runner.

(a) Compare the motion of the cyclist and the runner during the first 6 seconds.
Explain your answer.

(b) Describe the motion of the cyclist between time t= 6.0 s and time t= 12.0 s.
(c) Calculate the total distance travelled by the cyclist between t= 0 and t= 12.0
s. distance travelled = ...................................................... m
(d) After the first 6.0 seconds, the runner moves at constant speed for 4.0
seconds. He then slows down uniformly and stops in a further 2.0 seconds.
On Fig. 1.1, complete the graph for the runner’s motion.

Q7) A motorcycle is moving with a velocity of 90 km/h and it takes 5 second to

stop after the brakes are applied. Calculate the force exerted by the brakes on
the motorcycle if its mass along with the rider is 200 kg.

Q8) A man pushes a box of mass 50 kg with a force of 80 N. what will be the
acceleration of the box? What would be the acceleration if the mass were
halved?

Q9) A body of mass 2.5 kg undergoes a change of velocity of 10 m/s in 5 s.

what is the force acting on it?

Q10) The velocity of a particle of mass 500 g changes from 16 m/s to 24 m/s in
4 s. Assuming that a constant force acts on it, find the magnitude of the force.

Q11) A bullet traveling at 300 m/s pierces a hole 10 cm deep in a block of wood
before it comes to rest. Calculate the retardation of the bullet.

Q12) A ball is thrown vertically upwards. It goes to a height 19.6m and then
comes back to the ground. Find:

(i) the initial velocity of the ball.

(ii) the total time of journey and
(Iii) the final velocity of the ball when it strikes the ground.(Take
g=9.8m/s2)

Q13) A car is travelling at 72 km/hr. When the brakes are applied it

experiences a uniform retardation of 2m/s2.How long does it take the car to
stop? How far does it travel from the instant the brakes are applied?
