Motion
1. Define velocity and state its SI unit. For motion along a straight line, when
do we consider the acceleration to be (i) positive (ii) negative? Give an example
of a body in uniform acceleration.
2. Find the total displacement of the body from the following graph:
Also find acceleration from
a) B to C
B) A to B
c) D to E
3. A car travels at 54 km/h for first 20 s, 36 km/h for next 30 s and finally 18
km/h for next 10 s. Find its average speed.
4. Define acceleration and give its SI unit. When is acceleration of a body
negative? Give two examples of situations in which acceleration of the body is
negative.
5. Distinguish between uniform motion and non uniform motion. Is uniformly
accelerated motion a uniform motion? Give one example each of uniform and
non-uniform motion.
6. The speedometer readings of a car are shown below. Find the acceleration of
the car and its displacement.
Time Speedometer
9:25 am 36 km/h
9:45 am 72 km/h
7.Distinguish distance and displacement
8.Calculate the distance travelled and displacement from A to F
9.Calculate the distance travelled and displacement from
a) A to C
b) A to A
10.Johny completes the bicycle ride with the final velocity of 10 ms-1 and
acceleration 2 ms-2 within 3s. Calculate the initial velocity.
11.A truck travelling at 54 km/h is slow down to 36 km/h in 10 sec. Find the
retardation
12a].A scooter speeds down to 20 m/s in 4 sec to rest . Find the acceleration of
scooter.
b].A train starting from a railway station and moving with uniform acceleration
attains a speed 40 km/hr in 10 minutes. Find its acceleration.
