Question 31. Identify the correct S.I. units for the given quantities.
  1.    Speed:- second Time:- metre/second
  2.    Speed:- kilometre/hour Time:- second
  3.    Speed:- kilometre/hour Time:- minute
  4.    Speed:- metre/second Time:- second
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Speed:- metre/second Time:- second
:
D
Speed is the ratio of the distance an object covers to the amount of time taken by that object to cover that distance.
Speed = Distance/Time
The S.I. unit of distance is metre (m) while time is measured in second (s).So, S.I. unit of speed will be metre (m)/second (s).
Other larger units of time are hours and minutes while for distance it is kilometre.
Question 32. If a body travels unequal distances in equal intervals of time, then it is said to be executing __________ motion.
  1.    uniform
  2.    periodic
  3.    oscillatory
  4.    non-uniform
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> non-uniform
:
D
When body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be innon-uniform motion.
Uniform motionis the kind of motionin which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time.
Periodic motion is amotionwhich is repeated in equal intervals of time.
Oscillationis the to and fro motion of a bodyin a steady and uninterrupted manner.
Question 33. 1 metre can be defined as:
  1.    Distance travelled by light in 1299792458 s in vacuum.
  2.    Distance travelled by light in 1439898458 s in vacuum.
  3.    Distance travelled by light in 1399792458 s in vacuum.
  4.    Distance travelled by light in 1254792458 s in vacuum.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Distance travelled by light in 1299792458 s in vacuum.
:
A
The speed of light is constant throughout the vacuum. Hence it is a suitable standard and can be taken as reference for measurement of distance. The speed of light is 299792458ms1in a vacuum.
We know, speed=distancetimetime=distancespeed
Given, distance =1m
time=1299792458s
i.e.,One meter is the distancetravelled by light in 1299792458sin vacuum.
Question 34. Two people are sitting inside a moving car. Since the car is moving, one person is in motion with respect to the other.
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    80 km
  4.    90 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> False
:
B
When two people are sitting inside a moving car, their position changes with respect to a person standing outside. However, one person is in the same position when viewed from the other person's point of view. Hence, that person is considered to be at rest. Thus, the given statement is false.
Question 35. The motion in which a body moves in a straight line is called ______ motion.
  1.    rectilinear
  2.    circular
  3.    rotational
  4.    oscillatory 
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> rectilinear
:
A
The type of motion in which a body moves in a straight line is called 'rectilinear motion'.
Question 36. Pick the one that measures time.
  1.    Metre scale
  2.    Hourglass
  3.    Thermometer
  4.    Beam balance
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Hourglass
:
B
An hourglass, also called asand clockor a sandglass,is an instrumentthat measures time. It consists of two glass bulbs which are connected vertically by a narrow opening that allows the sand to tricklefrom the upper bulb to the lower one.
On the other hand, ametre scale measures the length of an object. A thermometer measuresthe temperature of a body. A beam balancemeasures mass.
Question 37. Which quantity indicates that a body is moving faster as compared to another body?
  1.    Speed
  2.    Time
  3.    Distance
  4.    Mass
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Speed
:
A
When a body A is moving faster than another body B, it means that body A covers more distance than body B at the same time.
This means that the ratio of distance to time is greater for body A.
The ratio of distance to time is speed.
Hence, the quantity that indicates whether a body is moving faster than another body is speed.
Question 38. A body moves at a speed of 20 km h1 for the first 2 hours. After that, it moves at the speed of 30 km h1 for the next 1 hour. What is the total distance travelled by the body?
  1.    60 km
  2.    70 km
  3.    80 km
  4.    90 km
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 70 km
:
B
From definition of speed,
Distance = Speed × Time
The total distance will be the sum of the distances travelled in both the time intervals.
In the first part of motion,
Speed=20kmh1,Time=2s
Distance travelled:
D1=20×2=40km
In the second part of motion,
Speed=30kmh1,Time=1s
Distance travelled:
D2=30×1=30km
Hence, total distance: D=D1+D2=70km
Question 39. 36 km h1 = ____ m s1.
  1.    20
  2.    10
  3.    30
  4.    15
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 10
:
B
36kmh1=36km1h=36×1000m1×60×60s
[1km=1000mand1h=60×60s]
36kmh1=360003600ms1
=10ms1.
Question 40. Kavita moves in a straight line path for 30 minutes in the north direction. She then turns right and moves for another 30 minutes in straight line path and finally reaches her destination. Identify the type of motion and final direction in which she is facing from the given options?
  1.    Circular motion East direction
  2.    Linear motion West direction
  3.    Linear motion East direction
  4.    Non-Linear motion East direction
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Non-Linear motion East direction
:
D
When abody moves in a straight line with respect to time, it is known as linear or rectilinear motion. In the given question, Kavita changes her direction once, so this is a non-linear motion.
Initially, she was facing northwards. When she turns right, she will now be facing in the east direction.Kavita Moves In A Straight Line Path For 30 Minutes In The N...
