Assertion – reason questions
Answer these questions selecting the appropriate options given below.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is true
e) A is true but R is false
1. Assertion : Position-time graph of a stationary object is a straight line
parallel to time axis.
Reason : For a stationary object, position does not change with time.
2. Assertion : The slope of displacement-time graph of a body moving with
high velocity is steeper than the slope of displacement-time graph of a
body with low velocity.
Reason : Slope of displacement-time graph = Velocity of the body.

ASSET questions
3. A ball is thrown vertically upwards, and then caught again after 10
seconds. Which of these graphs shows how its SPEED changes during
its motion?

Descriptive questions
4. Name the physical quantity that
a. varies
b. remains same in uniform circular motion?
5. A motorbike initially moving at 18 km/h, accelerates at the rate of 5 m/s2
for 5s. Calculate the final velocity. (Ans. 30 m/s)
6. A car accelerates uniformly from 36 km/h to 72 km/h in 2
seconds. Calculate the acceleration of the car .(Ans. a. 5 m/s2 )
7. Under what condition, the acceleration is zero for a moving body?
8. Give one example of a motion where an object does not change
its speed but its direction of motion changes continuously.
9. Why is a body moving with constant velocity along a circular path said
to have non uniform velocity?
10.A car is moving on a straight road with a uniform acceleration. The
following table gives the speed of the car at various instants of
time. Draw the shape of speed - time graph representing the sets of
observations given below, also find the acceleration of the car.
Time(s) 0 10 20 30 40 50
Speed 5 10 15 20 25 30
(m/s)
