1. Is distance a scalar quantity? Can it be negative?

2. What is the acceleration of a body moving with uniform velocity ?
3. In a free fall what is constant velocity or acceleration?
4. Suppose a ball is thrown vertically upwards from a position P above the
ground. It rises to the highest point Q and returns to the same point P.
What is the net displacement and distance?
5. What do you mean by 2 m/s2 ?
6. Can uniform linear motion be accelerated? Comment.
7. In addition to speed, what else should be known to predict the position
of a moving body?
8. What are the characteristics of distance-time graph for an object moving
with a uniform speed?
9. Name the terms represented by various symbols in the equation v=u+at
10. Plot position-time graph for a uniform motion. What does the slope of
the graph indicate?
11. Establish the relation 2as=v2-u2 graphically where the symbols have
their usual meaning.
12. Draw displacement time graph of a body
(a) at rest
(b) in uniform linear motion
13. Suppose a car travels 20 meter in first 15 seconds, 40 meter in next 15
seconds and 10 meters in yet next 15 seconds find it’s speed after first
15 seconds, next 15 seconds and in yet next 15 seconds.
14. A car travels at a speed of 20 kilometres per hour for two hours and at
60 kilometres per hour for the next two hours .What is the average
speed of the car?
15. A racing car initially at rest, attains a speed of 198km/hr in 10 seconds.
Calculate the distance covered by the racing car from start and the
acceleration.
16. Fill in the blanks
(a) Distance travelled by the body in a given direction in unit time ------
(b) An instrument used to measure distance ------
(c) The motion in which the speed remains constant but the velocity is
continuously changing in direction of motion -------
17. Define uniform motion and non-uniform motion . Give at least 2 points
of distinction between them.
18. A particle moves in a circle which center O and radius equal to 5
centimetre. It starts from a point A on the circle and reaches to the point
B on the circle.(See fig.) Calculate
(a) the distance covered.
(b) the displacement when it reaches to the point B

19. Given below is the velocity-time graph for the motion of the car. What
does the nature of the graph show? Also, find the acceleration of the
car.

20. A stone is thrown in a vertically upward direction with the velocity of

5m/s. If the acceleration of the stone during its motion is 10m/s2 in the
downward direction, what will be the height attained by the stone and
how much time will it take to reach there?
