Question 111.


What is a Speedometer? How does it work?  [3 MARKS]

Answer: Option A. ->
:
Definition: 1 Mark
Working: 2 Marks
A speedometer is a device that measures the speed of a particular vehicle at that particular instant.
The speedometer calculates the speed of the vehicle at a particular instant by measuring the time it takes for the wheels of the vehicle to rotate. Since the distance moved in each rotation is constant, knowing the time it takes for one rotation gives us the speed.
Question 112.


If you are resting inside a car that is moving, are you in rest or motion? Justify your answer. [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:
Correct answer: 1.5 Marks
Justification: 1.5 Marks
If you are sitting inside a car that is moving, then you are in a state of rest with respect to the car but in a state of motion with respect to the surroundings outside the car.
When a person is sitting inside a car, the person's position with respect to the car is not changing but his position with respect to surroundings outside the car is changing.

Question 113.


John is driving a car at 30 km/hr speed. He drove for half an hour and then he changed his speed to 60 km/hr and drove for another half an hour. What is the total distance covered by John and also find its average speed? [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Distance Covered: 2 Marks
Average Speed: 2 Marks
Steps: 1 Mark
John drove the first 30 minutes at 30 km/hr and then changed his speed to 60 km/hr for the next 30 mins. Hence, total distance traveled by John will be the distance he covers in the entire 1 hour.
Time = 0.5 hr


Speed = 30 km/hr


Distance covered =speed×time=30×0.5=15 km


Now, new speed = 60 km/hr


Time = 0.5 hr


Distance covered =speed×time=60×0.5=30 km


Total distance covered by him = 15 + 30 = 45 km in one hour.
Average speed=Total distance travelledTotal time
Average speed =(451)kmhr
Average speed = 45 km/hr


Question 114.


The odometer of a car reads 350 km when the clock shows the time 12:30 pm. What is the distance moved by car, if at 1 pm, the odometer reading has changed to 500 km? Calculate the speed of the car in km/min during this time. Express the speed in km/hr.  [5 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. ->
:

Distance covered by car: 1 Mark
Speed in km/min = 1 Mark
Speed in km/hr = 1 Mark
Steps: 1 Mark
Formula: 1 Mark
Initial reading = 350 km


Final reading = 500 km


Distance covered = 500 - 350 = 150 km


Time taken = 30 minutes


Speed=distancetime=15030=5 km/min


Speed in km/hr = 5×60=300 km/hr


Question 115.

1) The motion of a car on a road. 


2) The motion of pendulum of the clock. 


3) The motion of a child on a see-saw 


4) The motion of train on a straight bridge. 


5) The motion of the hands in a clock.
