Question 21. A train leaves station A and reaches Station B after 2 hours. If the distance between the station is 180 km, find the speed of the train in km/hr and m/s.  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Calculation: 1 Mark
Result: 2 Marks
Distance covered by train in 2 hours = 180 km
Or, distance covered in 1 hour = 90 km
Speed of train = 90 km/hr
Speed of train in m/s = 90×518
Speed of train in m/s = 25 m/s
Question 22. Raj enters a 100 m race 5 seconds after Rahul ran. If Raj finishes the race at the same time as Rahul who ran at 4 m/s, at what speed did Raj run the race?  [3 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Steps: 2 Marks
Result: 1 Mark
Distance covered by Rahul at 4 m/s = 100 m
Time taken to cover this distance = 25 seconds.
Raj started five seconds later but finishes at the same time.
Hence, time taken by Raj to finish the race = 20 seconds
Distance covered by Raj = 100 m
Speed at which Raj ran =Distancetime
=10020
= 5 m/s
Question 23. Differentiate the state of rest and motion of an object.  [2 MARKS]
 Discuss Question

:
Motion: 1Mark
Rest: 1Mark
Motion- A body is said to be in a state of motion if it changes its position continuously with respect to its surroundings with the passage of time.
Example: A bus running on a road, a flying bird etc.

Rest- A body is said to be at rest if it does not changes its position continuously with respect to its surroundings with the passage of time.
Example:A book lying on a table.
Question 24. In order to cover a certain distance in a shorter time span, the object should have a greater _________.
  1.    mass 
  2.    speed
  3.    time period 
  4.    frequency
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> speed
:
B
We know that:
Speed=DistanceTime
Here, the object has to cover a certain fixed distance in a shorter span of time.
From the equation above, we understand that greater the speed, lesser is the time taken, provided the distance is constant.
So, in order to cover a certain distance in a shorter time span, the object should have a greater speed.
Question 25. Sundial is a device that measures _____.
  1.    distance
  2.    temperature
  3.    volume
  4.    time
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> time
:
D
Sundial is a time measuring device.It showsthe time by the shadow of a pointer cast by the sun onto a plate marked with the hours of the day.
Sundial Is A Device That Measures _____.
Question 26. The distance-time graph for a uniform motion is a ____.
  1.    straight line parallel to X-axis
  2.    straight line parallel to Y-axis
  3.    straight line having 450 to X-axis
  4.    curved line
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> straight line having 450 to X-axis
:
C
In uniform motion, a body covers an equal distancein equal interval of time.
Hence, the ratio Change in distanceChange in time is constant. When we plot the graph with distance on the Y-axis and time on the X-axis, we see that the points lie along a straight line inclined at450with the x-axis.
The Distance-time Graph For A Uniform Motion Is A ____.
Question 27. Identify the device that is used to measure how fast a vehicle is moving.
  1.    Sundial
  2.    Thermometer
  3.    Speedometer
  4.    Odometer
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> Speedometer
:
C
Speed is a quantity that defines how fast an object or a vehicle is moving.
A speedometer is a device which is used to measure the speed of a vehicle. It records the speed in kmph.

Question 28. The motion of a simple pendulum is an example of:
  1.    Oscillatory motion
  2.    Circular motion
  3.    Rotational motion
  4.    Rectilinear motion
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Oscillatory motion
:
A
Oscillatory motion is the type of motion in which an object moves to and fro about a fixed point. The swinging of a pendulum is an example of oscillatory motion.
The Motion Of A Simple Pendulum Is An Example Of:
Question 29. Match the entries of column I with column II.
Activity
Type of Motion
(a) Movement of the tip of the minute hand of a clock
(i) Rotational motion
(b) A stone falling from a height in a straight line path
(ii) Circular motion
(c) Moving wheel of a sewing machine
(iii) Linear motion
  1.    (a) - (iii), (b) - (i), (c) - (ii)
  2.    (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
  3.    (a) - (iii), (b) - (ii), (c) - (i)
  4.    (a) - (ii), (b) - (i), (c) - (iii)
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:
B

  1. When abody moves in a circular path with respect to time, it is known as circular motion. e.g.the tip of minute hand.

  2. When abody moves in a straight line with respect to time, it is known as linear motion. e.gthe stone falling from a height.

  3. When abody moves about its own axis, it is known as rotational motion. e.g.the wheel of the sewing machine.

Question 30. If the speed of a moving object is 5 kmph then, how much distance will it cover in 10 hours?
  1.    50 km
  2.    60 km
  3.    40 km
  4.    25 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> 50 km
:
A
Given,
Speed
=5kmphand Time=10h
We know that:
Distance =Speed × Time
Distance=5×10=50km.
