Question 61.


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 62.


Which among the following is the unit of distance?


  1.     Metres
  2.     Kilometres
  3.     Hours
  4.     Kilograms
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option A. -> Metres
:
A and B
A distance is usually described using the physical quantity 'length'. Hence, the unit of distance is the same as unit of length, which is a fundamental quantity.
Here, metres and kilometres are units of length. Hours is a unit of time and kilograms is a unit of mass.
Question 63.


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 shows the 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 64.


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.

Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:
B

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

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

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


Question 66.


What is translatory motion?  [1 MARK]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:

Definition: 1 Mark
Translational motion is the motion of body where body moves in the linear path. It is the motion in which all points of a moving body move uniformly in the same line or direction.


Question 67.


What do you mean by average speed? State the S.I. unit of speed. [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:

Definition: 1 Mark
Unit: 1 Mark
The average speed of a moving object is defined as the total distance covered by it divided by the total time taken.
Average speed=Total distance coveredTotal Time
The S.I unit of speed is meter per second. Speed is also measured in kilometre per hour.


Question 68.


A body covers 3 km in 10 min, 6 km in 30 min and 10 km in 60 min. Is the motion of the body uniform?  [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:

Condition for uniform motion: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Speed1 =310=0.3km/min
Speed2 =630=0.2km/min
Speed3 =1060=0.166km/min
When a body is in a uniform motion, it covers equal distance in equal intervals of time.
In the above question, speed in all the three cases is different. Hence, it is not a uniform motion.


Question 69.


Calculate:
(i) Seconds in a day

(ii) Minutes in a week
(iii) Hours in a year  [3 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:

Sub-parts: 1 Mark each
(i) Seconds in a day =60×60×24=86400 seconds
(ii) Minutes in a week =60×24×7=10080 minutes
(iii) Hours in a year =24×365=8760 hours


Question 70.


Person A is traveling at 60 km/hr whereas person B is traveling at 25 m/s. Who is faster?  [2 MARKS]


 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> (a) - (ii), (b) - (iii), (c) - (i)
:
Calculation: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
Speed of Person B = 25 m/s
=25×185 = 90 km/hr
Speed of Person A is 60 km/hr
Hence, Person B is faster.
