MOTION
______________________________________
Very Short Answer Questions
Question 1.The phenomenon of motion was placed on a sound scientific footing by two scientists. Write their names.
Answer:
Galileo Galilei and Isaac Newton.
Question 2.Are rest and motion absolute or relative terms?
Answer:
They are relative terms.
Question 3.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 travelled by the ball?
Answer:
Displacement is zero. Distance is twice the distance between position P and Q.
Question 4.Which speed is greater: 30 m/s or 30 km/h?
Answer:
30 m/s
Question 5.What do you mean by 2 m/s2?
Answer:
The velocity of the body increases by 2 m/s after every second.
Question 6.Can uniform linear motion be accelerated?
Answer:
No
Question 7.Define one radian.
Answer:
It is the angle which is subtended at the centre by an arc having a length equal to the radius of the circle.
Question 8.What is the relation between linear velocity and angular velocity?
Answer:
Linear velocity = Angular velocity × Radius of circular path.
Short Answer Type 1
Question 1.Distinguish between speed and velocity.
Answer:
Speed:
- Speed is the ratio of distance and time.
- Speed is always positive
- Speed is a scalar quantity.
Velocity:
- Velocity is the ratio of displacement and time.
- Velocity may be negative or positive.
- Velocity is a vector quantity.
Question 2.Distinguish between distance and displacement.
Answer:
Distance
- It is the actual length of the path covered by a moving body.
- It is always positive or zero.
- It is a scalar quantity.
Displacement:
- It is the shortest distance measured between the initial and final positions.
- It may be positive, negative, or zero.
- it is a vector quantity.
Question 3.Write down the SI unit of the following quantities:
(a) Displacement
(b) Speed
(c) Velocity
(d) Acceleration
Answer:
(a) m
(b) m/s
(c) m/s
(d) m/s2
DEFINE
Question 1.Define the following terms:
(a) Distance
(b) Displacement
(c) Speed
(d) Velocity
(e) Acceleration
(f) Uniform motion
(g) Uniform circular motion
(h) Scalar quantity
(i) Vector quantity
Answer:
(a) Distance: The total path length traveled by a body in a given interval of time is called distance.
(b) Displacement: The shortest distance measured from the initial to the final position of an object is known as displacement.
(c) Speed: The speed of a body is defined as the distance traveled per unit time.
(d) Velocity: Velocity is defined as displacement per unit time.
(e) Acceleration: The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.
(f) Uniform motion: A body moving in a straight line has a uniform motion if it travels the equal distance in equal intervals of tune.
(g) Non-uniform motion: A body has a non-uniform motion if it travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time.
(h) Scalar quantity: A physical quantity which is described completely by its magnitude only, is called a scalar quantity.
(i) Vector quantity: A physical quantity that has magnitude as well as direction and obeys the vector addition is called a vector quantity.
Question 2.Draw a position-time graph of for
(a) rest
(b) uniform motion
(c) Non-uniform motion
Answer:
(a) Position – time graph for rest
(b) Position – time graph for uniform motion
(c) Position – time graph for non-uniform motion
