Question 11. In the given figure, the velocity of the body at A is zero.
In The Given Figure, The velocity Of The Body At A Is Zero....
  1.    True
  2.    False
  3.    625 m
  4.    500 m

Answer: Option A. -> True
:
A
In The Given Figure, The velocity Of The Body At A Is Zero....
The slope of a displacement-time graph gives us thevelocity. Theslope at any point in a curve can be found by drawing a tangent on it. In the figure, a tangent has been drawn at point A.
Slope=Change in y-coordinateChange in x-coordinate
At point A, clearly, there is no change in the y-coordinate. Hence, the slope is zero. This implies that the velocity at point A is zero.
Question 12. An express train going towards Delhi is travelling at a speed of 90 kmph. Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of 0.5m s2 . Find how far the train will go before it is brought to rest.
  1.    600 m
  2.    725 m
  3.    625 m
  4.    500 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option C. -> 625 m
:
C
Given,
initial velocity, u=90kmph = 90×518 =25ms1
acceleration, a=0.5ms2
final velocity, v=0 (brakes are applied)
Let 's' be the distance travelled.
From the third equation of motion,
v2=u2+2as
0=252+(2×0.5×s)
s=625m
Hence the distance covered is 625m.
Question 13. A runner completes one round of a circular track of diameter 400 m in 40 s. What will be the distance covered and the displacement respectively at the end of 2 minutes 20 s?
  1.    4400 m, 200 m
  2.    4400 m, 400 m
  3.    2200 m, 400 m
  4.    2200 m, 800 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 4400 m, 400 m
:
B
A Runner Completes One Round Of A Circular Track Of Diameter...Given:
Diameter of the circle, d=400m
Time taken to complete one circle, T=40s
Total time of motion, T2=2min20s
Circumference of circle, C=πd
Speed is defined as the ratio of distance covered to time taken.
Hence, speed of the runner
v=CT=πdT
Total time of motion, T2=2min20s=140s
Total distance covered is given by:
D=vT2
D=πdT2T
D=π×400×14040
D4400m
No. of rounds completed:
n=Total distance coveredCircumference of the circle
n=Dπd
n=T2T
n=140040=3.5
This means that he will be at the diametrically opposite end, i.e., he starts at A and ends at B.
Hence displacement, s=2r=400m
Question 14. A boy covers 6 metres in the first 10 seconds and another 6 metres in the next 10 seconds at same speed in the same direction. What can you surely tell about the motion of the boy?
  1.    Curvilinear motion
  2.    Uniform motion
  3.    Non-uniform motion
  4.    The boy is at rest
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> Uniform motion
:
B
Uniform motionis when object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time in the same direction.
In this case, the boy covers equal distances in equal intervals of time because his speed does not change.
Also, his direction does not change.
Therefore, the motion of the boy is an example for uniform motion.
Question 15. What is the acceleration of a van that starts from rest and attains a speed of 20 ms1 in 25 s?
  1.    2 ms−2
  2.    0.8 ms−2
  3.    7.5 ms−2
  4.    4 ms−2
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 0.8 ms−2
:
B
Given:
Initial velocity,u=0ms1
Final velocity, v=20ms1
Time, t=25s
From the first equation of motion,
v=u+at,
20=0+a×25
a=2025=0.8ms2
Question 16. Brakes are applied to a truck to produce an acceleration of 10 ms2​. If the truck takes 5 s to stop after applying the brakes, then find the distance covered by the truck before coming to rest.
  1.    250 m
  2.    125 m
  3.    −125 m
  4.    −250 m
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> 125 m
:
B
Given, final velocity, v=0, acceleration,a=10ms2, time taken, t=5s.
Let the initial velocity be u.
From the first equation of motion, v=u+at,
0=u+(10×5)
u=50ms1
From third equation of motion,v2 = u2+2as,
0=502+2×10×s
s=125m
Therefore, the truck will stop after 125m.
Question 17. A block is sliding down on an inclined plane. The velocity changes at a constant rate from 10 cms1 to 15 cms1 in 2 seconds. What is its acceleration?
  1.    2.5 cms−2

Let u be the initial velocity,v be the final velocity and t be the time taken.
v=15cms1,u=10cms1,t=2s
We know thatacceleration, a is given by:
a=vut

a=2.5cms2
Question 18. In a uniform circular motion, the direction of velocity at any point is _____.
  1.    towards the centre
  2.    along the circumference
  3.    random
  4.    along the tangent
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> along the tangent
:
D
Uniform circular motion is described as the motion of an object in a circle at a constant speed. As an object moves in a circle, it is constantly changing its direction. At all instances, the object is moving tangent to the circle. Since the direction of the velocity is the same as the direction of the object's motion, the velocity is directed tangent to the circle as well.
Question 19. Which of the following statement is correct for a round trip along the same route?
  1.    The average speed is zero.
  2.    The average velocity is zero.
  3.    Both the average velocity and average speed are non-zero.
  4.    The average velocity is half of the average speed.
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option B. -> The average velocity is zero.
:
B
The average speed is given by the ratio of the total distance travelled to the total time taken.
During a round trip,
The total distance travelled = length of the path 0
the average speed 0
Also, the object comes back to the same point from where it has started the journey. So, the total displacement of the object is zero. The average velocity is given by the ratio of the total displacement to the total time taken.
the average velocity =0
Hence, the average velocity is zero for a round trip.
Question 20. What is the distance travelled by a body and its displacement when it completes one revolution around a circular track with radius r?
  1.    Distance and displacement are both same and equal to 0
  2.    Distance and displacement are both same and equal to 2πr
  3.    Distance = 0 and displacement = 2πr
  4.    Distance = 2πr and displacement = 0
 Discuss Question
Answer: Option D. -> Distance = 2πr and displacement = 0
:
D
Distance only depends on the magnitude and is equal to thetotal path covered.
Here, distance = perimeter of the circular track =2πr

Displacement depends on both magnitude and direction.
It depends only on the initial and final positions of the body and when you join initial and final points with astraight line, it gives thedisplacement of the body.
Here initial and final positions are the same, hence displacement is zero.
