VI. Short Questions & Answers

1. Define velocity?

Velocity is the rate of change of displacement. It is the displacement in unit time.

2. Distinguish distance and displacement?

3. What do you mean by uniform motion?

An object is said to be in uniform motion if it covers an equal distance in equal intervals of time how so ever bit or small these time intervals may be. A particle is in uniform motion when it moves with constant velocity.

4. Compare speed and velocity?

5. What do you understand about negative acceleration?

• If the final velocity is less than the initial velocity, the velocity decreases with time and the value of acceleration is negative. It is called negative acceleration.
• Negative acceleration is called retardation (or) deceleration.

6. Is the uniform circular motion accelerated? Give reasons for your Answer

Yes, the uniform circular motion is accelerated.

A body is said to be accelerated if the velocity of the body changes either in magnitude (or) in direction. But in this case, the change in velocity is only due to the change in direction.

7. What is meant by uniform circular motion? Give two examples of uniform circular motion.

When an object moves with constant speed along a circular path, the motion is called uniform circular motion.

Examples:

1. Revolution of the earth around the sun.
2. Revolution of the moon around the earth.
3. In an atom, an electron moves around the nucleus in a circular path.

8. What remains constant in uniform circular motion? And what changes are continuously in uniform circular motion?

• Objects are moving at a constant speed along a circular path.
• The direction changes continuously in a uniform circular motion.

VIII. Paragraph Questions

1. Derive equations of motion by graphical method.

Equations of motion from velocity-time graph:

The graph shows the change in velocity with time for a uniformly accelerated object. The object starts from point D in the graph with velocity u. Its velocity keeps increasing and after time t it reaches the point B on the graph.

The initial velocity of the object = u =OD = EA

The final velocity of the object = v = OC = EB

Time = t = OE = DA

Also from the graph, we know that, AB = DC

The first equation of motion

By definition, acceleration = change in velocity/time

This is the first equation of motion.

The second equation of motion

From the graph, the distance covered by the object during time t is given by the area of quadrangle DOEB

This is the second equation of motion.

Third equation of motion

From the graph, the distance covered by the object during time t is given by the area of the quadrangle DOEB. Here DOEB is a trapezium. Then

This is the third equation of motion.

2. Explain different types of motion.

(i) Linear Motion

The motion of an object along a straight line is known as linear motion. Ex: Car moving on a straight road.

(ii) Circular Motion

The motion of an object is a circular path is known as circular motion. Ex: Earth revolving around the sun.

(iii) Oscillatory Motion 

Repetitive and for motion of an object at regular intervals of time is called oscillatory motion. Ex: Motion of the pendulum of a clock.

(iv) Random Motion

The disordered or irregular motion of a body is called random motion. Ex: Movement of fish underwater.

IX. Exercise Problems

1. A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10 ms^-2 with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?

Ans: Here we have

a) Calculation of final velocity,

b) Calculation of time, t

2. An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What
will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 m and 20 s?

Ans: Here we have

We know that, velocity

a) Distance after 140 s

b) Displacement after 2 min 20s i.e, in 140s

ஃ In 3.5 rotation athlete will be just at the opposite side of the circular track.

i.e. at a distance equal to the diameter of the circular track which is equal to 200 m

ஃ Distance covered in 2 min 20 s = 2198 m

Displacement after 2 min 20 s = 200 m.

3. Aracing car has a uniform acceleration of 4ms? What distance does it cover in 10s after the start?

Here we have
