Short Answer Questions. [2x8=16]

1. Give an example of oscillatory motion.
Answer: The to and fro motion of a simple pendulum is an example of a periodic or an oscillatory motion.
2. What is non-uniform motion?
Answer: If the speed of an object moving along a straight line keeps changing, its motion is said to be non-
uniform.
3. What is uniform motion?
Answer: An object moving along a straight line with a constant speed is said to be in uniform motion.
4. What is the smallest time interval that can be measured with commonly available clocks and watches?
Answer: The smallest time interval that can be measured with commonly available clocks and watches is
one second.
5. What is a simple pendulum?
Answer: A simple pendulum consists of a small metallic ball or a piece of stone suspended from a rigid
stand by a thread. The metallic ball is called the bob of the pendulum.
6. How time was measured when pendulum clocks were not available?

became popular. Sundials, water clocks and sand clocks are some examples of such devices.
7. What are quartz clocks?
Answer: Nowadays most clocks or watches have an electric circuit with one or more cells. These clocks are
called quartz clocks. The time measured by quartz clocks is much more accurate than that by the clocks
available earlier.

Multiple Choice Questions. [1x10=10]

1. The car moving at a speed of 60 km/hr will cover
(a) 80 kilometres in one hour
(b) 130 kilometres in two hours
(c) 30 kilometres in half an hour
(d) 70 kilometres in one hour
Ans. (c)
Explanation: - The car moving at a speed of 60 km/hr will cover 30 kilometres in half an
hour as it covers 60 kilometres in one hour.
2. When the speed of an object moving along a straight line keeps changing, it
is said to be in
(a) Uniform motion
(b) Non-uniform motion
(c) Circular motion
(d) Harmonic motion
Ans. (b)
Explanation: - When the speed of an object moving along a straight line keeps changing,
it is said to be in non- uniform motion. In such a case, the average speed is different
from the actual speed.
3. To calculate speed, we need
(a) Distance and time
(b) Time and frequency
(c) Velocity and distance
(d) Direction and time
Ans. (a)
Explanation: - To calculate speed, we need distance and time as
Speed= Distance/time
4. Our ancestors considered one month as the time between
(a) One new moon to the no moon
(b) One new moon to the next new moon
(c) Half moon to the full moon
(d) Crescent moon to the full moon
Ans. (b)
Explanation: - Our ancestors considered the time between one new moon to the next
new moon as a month because this phenomenon in nature repeats itself after a fixed

to be in
(a) Non-uniform motion
(b) Harmonic motion
(c) Circular motion

Ans. (d)
Explanation: - When an object moves along a straight line with a constant speed, it is
6
 Cognitive Domain: Skills & Competencies
said to be in uniform motion and in this case the actual speed will be same as the
average speed.
6. In ancient times, a year was fixed as the time
(a) Taken by the moon to complete one revolution of the earth.
(b) Taken by the earth to complete one rotation on its axis.
(c) Taken by the earth to complete one revolution of the sun
(d) Between the two eclipses
Ans. (c)
Explanation: - In ancient times, a year was fixed as the time taken by the earth to
complete one revolution of the sun. Because revolution of the earth is repeated after a
fixed interval of time.
7. Simple pendulum exhibits
(a) Periodic motion
(b) Circular motion
(c) Non-uniform motion
(d) Vibratory motion
Ans. (a)
Explanation: - Simple pendulum exhibits periodic motion as it repeats its motion after a
fixed interval of time.
8. For one complete oscillation, a pendulum (of any length) always
(a) Takes different time
(b) Takes same time
(c) Has same speed
(d) Has different speeds
Ans. (b)
Explanation: - To complete one oscillation, a pendulum (of any length) always takes the
same time but when the length of the pendulum is changed, its time period also gets
changed.
9. A pendulum has its maximum potential energy
(a) at the Mean position
(b) at the Extreme position
(c) When it is between the mean and the extreme positions
(d) at the time just before it comes to rest
Ans. (b)
Explanation: - A pendulum has its maximum potential energy at the extreme position
since at these positions, the height of the bob gets stored in the form of a potential
energy.
10. The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called
(a) Pendulum period
(b) Frequency
(c) Time period
(d) Oscillatory period
Ans. (c)
Explanation: - The time taken by a pendulum to complete one oscillation is called its time
period. The simple pendulum (of any length) always has the same time period.

Short Answer Questions.

1. A simple pendulum is oscillating between two points A and B as shown in figure. Is the motion of the bob
uniform or non-uniform?

7
 Cognitive Domain: Skills & Competencies

Solution:
Motion of the bob is non-uniform as its speed keeps changing. [1+1]

Question 2.
Rahul and Anjali have to cover different distances to reach their school, but they take the same time to reach the
school. What can you say about their speed?
Solution:
Rahul and Anjali have different speeds. [1]

Question 3.
If Ishaan covers a certain distance in 3 hours and Rohit covers the same distance in 2 hours, who travels in a
higher speed? Why?
Solution:
Rohit moves at a higher speed as he covers the same distance in a lesser time than Ishaan. [1+1]

Question 4.

Question 5.
The average age of children of Class VII is 12 years and 3 months. Express this age in seconds.
Solution:
12 years 3 months
= 12 x 365 + 3 x 30 = 4470 days
= 4470 x 24 x 60 x 60 s = 386208000 s [2]

Question 6.
If a car covers a distance of 45,000 meters in 30 minutes, calculate its speed in m/s.

Solution:
Speed = Distance / Time Speed = 45,000 meters / 30 minutes = 1,500 meters/minute To express it in m/s, divide
by 60 (1 minute = 60 seconds): Speed = 1,500 meters/minute / 60 seconds/minute = 25 meters/second. [1+1]

Question 7.
Starting from A, Falak moves along a rectangular path ABCD as shown in the figure. She takes 2 minutes to travel
each side. Plot a distance-time graph and explain whether the motion is uniform or non-uniform.

Solution:

9
 Cognitive Domain: Skills & Competencies
Since the distance covered per unit time for the entire rectangular path covered is not the same, the motion is non-
uniform.

(i) What will be the position of the object at 20 s?

(ii) What will be the distance travelled by the object in 12 s?
(iii) What is the average speed of the object?
Solution:
(i) At 20 s, the object will be 8 m away from the starting point.
(ii) In 12 s, distance travelled by the object will be 6 m.
(iii) Average speed of the object Total distance=Total distance/Time taken=8m/20s=0.4m/s [1+1+1]

Question 2.
Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house is 9 km. Bholu has to attend Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. He
started from his home at 6 o’clock on his bicycle and covered a distance of 6 km in 40 minutes. At that point he
10
 Cognitive Domain: Skills & Competencies
met Chintu and he spoke to him for 5 minutes and reached Golu’s birthday party at 7 o’clock. With what speed did
he cover the second part of the journey? Calculate his average speed for the entire journey.
Solution:
Distance between Bholu’s and Golu’s house = 9 km
Distance covered by Bholu in first part of the journey = 6 km
Time taken to cover 6 km = 40 min
Distance covered by Bholu in second part of the journey = 9-6 = 3 km
Time taken to cover 3 km = 60 – (40+5)=15 min

[2+2]
Question 3.
Boojho goes to the football ground to play football. The distance-time graph of his journey from his home to the
ground is given as figure.

(a) What does the graph between point B and C indicate about the motion of Boojho?
(b) Is the motion between 0 to 4 minutes uniform or non-uniform?
(c) What is his speed between 8 and 12 minutes of his journey?
Solution:
(a) Graph between point B and C is a horizontal line which indicates that Boojho is at rest, i.e. his speed is zero.
(b) Motion between 0 to 4 minutes is non-uniform as distance-time graph for this time interval is not a straight
line.

4. Construct a distance-time graph from the description of Uma’s journey given below. Uma left her home at
17:00 and, after traveling at a constant speed for an hour, she had covered 28 kilometers before stopping. After
half an hour of being stopped, she drove home at a constant speed, and it took her an hour and a half in total to
reach home.
Solution:
From the given data, we conclude that,
• From 17:00 to 18:00, Uma travels from 0 km away to 28 km away;
• From 18:00 to 18:30, she is at rest.
• From 18:30 to 20:00, she travels from 28 km away to 0 km away.
The final graph looks like this,
