Q8.
Name some natural phenomena that are caused
due to motion of the earth.
The passengers sitting in a moving train, find each
other at rest but roadside trees in motion. Explain
the motion in this context.
Discuss whether a book placed on the table is at
rest or in motion.
Why does an object, seems in motion to one
person and stationary to some other person?
Is it necessary that an object always moves in a
straight line?
Is it correct to say that an object is at absolute rest
or in absolute motion? Explain with example.
DESCRIBING MOTION
09. What do you mean by a reference point?
Q10. Why is it important to specify a reference point for
describing motion?
Q11. When we say that a boy is sitting 5 m east of a
lamp post, what is the reference point here?
MOTION ALONG A STRAIGHT LINE
Q12. What do you mean by the magnitude of a physical
quantity?
Q13. What do you mean by displacement of an object?

distance is equal to the magnitude of
displacement?
(iii) Calculate the difference between the distance.
travelled and the magnitude of displacement
covered by the car when it moves from position
B to C through D.
(iv) What is an origin?

same
Q16. If a body travels along a straight line in
direction, then what will be the relation between the
distance and the displacement covered by the
object?
Q17. When is the displacement of a moving object zero?
Q18. A cyclist covers two rounds of a circular track of
radius 7 m. Calculate the difference between the
distance and displacement covered by the cyclist.
Q19. Is it correct to say that distance cannot be zero but
displacement can be zero for a moving object?
Explain your answer with the help of an example.
Q20. A car moves along the boundary of a circular ground,
if the difference between the final reading and initial
reading of the odometer of the car on completing
one round of the ground is 1 km. Then what is the
displacement of the car?
Q21. Name the physical quantity used to locate the final
position of an object with reference to its initial
position.
Q22. When you walk from one corner of a basket ball
court of sides a, b to its opposite corner along its
sides, what is the magnitude of your displacement?
Q23. What is the distance travelled in the case mentioned
in the above problem?
Q24. Name the device used in automobiles that shows
the distance travelled.
