Class 09 - Science

1. (a) 25.5 ms-1

Explanation: Let the acceleration of the car is = a
And the distance between A and B is = d
v2 - u2 = 2ad
v = 30m/s and u = 20m/s
2ad = 302 - 202
(900−400)
Ad = 2
= 250
When the car is at the mid point of AB then let the speed of the car is v1

v12 - 202 = 2a ( ) d

v12 = ad + 400 = 250 + 400 = 650

therefore v1 is = 25.4950m/s.

2.
(b) Both Negative acceleration and Retardation
Explanation: If there is a decrease in acceleration, it is called Retardation. This means the rate of decrease in velocity is called
retardation or negative acceleration or deceleration.
3.
(b) zero
H
Explanation: The average velocity for the entire swing would be zero because its final position and initial position are
identical.
HL

4.
(b) zero
Explanation: The slope is zero (because the slope for the velocity time graph gives the acceleration).
5. Linear velocity = Angular velocity × Radius of circular path.
6. Velocity of an object is uniform if it travels equal displacement in equal intervals of time.
7. Average velocity is the ratio of the total displacement to the total time taken.
8. Velocity is defined as the ratio of the displacement to the time taken.
9. Graphically the path of an object will be linear i.e. look like a straight line when it is in uniform motion.
10. Given r = 42,250 km, T = 24 hours = 86400 s
The linear velocity is given by the expression
= 3.07 = 3.1 kms-1
2× 3.14×42250
V= 2πr

t
=
86400
18 1 −1
× = 64.8 kmh
11. Velocity = 1000 1

3600

12. As the motion is uniform therefore the velocity of the body will remain same even after 10s. Therefore the velocity of the body
will be 10 ms-1.
13. When the velocity of a body changes at a non-uniform rate, its average velocity is found by dividing the net displacement covered
by the total time taken.
Netdisplacement
i.e., Average Velocity = Totaltimetaken

In case the velocity of a body changes at a uniform rate, then the average velocity is given by the arithmetic mean of initial
velocity and final velocity for a given period of time.
Initialvelocity+Finalvelocity
i.e., Average velocity = 2

14. If distance travelled by an object is equal to its displacement then the magnitude of average velocity of an object will be equal to
its average speed.

also v = 72 × 5

Using v = u + at we have

16. Uniform velocity: An object with uniform velocity covers equal distance in equal intervals of time in a specified direction. For
e.g. an object moving with speed of 40 km/hr towards west has uniform velocity.
Non-uniform velocity: When an object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, or if the
direction of motion changes, it is said to be moving with a non-uniform or variable velocity. For e.g. revolving fan at a constant
speed has variable velocity as direction of blades of fan is continuously changing.
17. Velocity of an object is non-uniform if it travels unequal displacement in equal intervals of time.
18. i. OA is a straight line graph between speed and time and it is sloping upward from O to A. Here, OA represents uniform
acceleration.
ii. AB is a straight line graph between speed and time which is parallel to the time axis (X-axis). So, AB represents uniform
speed. There is no acceleration from A to B.
iii. BC is a straight line graph between speed and time which is sloping downwards from B to C. Therefore, BC represents
uniform retardation or negative acceleration.
iv. Acceleration of the body as we see from graph line OA represents it. So, the slope of velocity-time graph OA will give the
acceleration of the body.
Thus, acceleration = slope of line OA = AD

OD

We have, AD = 6 m/s and OD = 4s

H
= 1.5 m/s2
6 m/s
So, acceleration = 4/s

v. The slope of line graph BC represents the retardation of the body.

HL

So, retardation = slope of line BC = - BE

EC

We have, BE = 6 m/s, EC = 16 - 10 = 6s
= -1 m/s2
6m/s
Retardation = - 6s

vi. The distance travelled by the body is equal to the area enclosed between the speed-time graph and time axis.
Distance travelled from A to B = area under the line AB and the time axis = area of rectangle DABE = DA × DE.
Here, DA = 6 m/s and DE = 10 - 4 = 6 s
Distance travelled from A to B = 6 × 6 = 36 m
19. After first 2 s; u = 0, s = 20 m and t = 2 s
Using distance formula;
s = ut + 1

2
at2
or 20m = 0 + 1

2
a × (2)2 s2 or a = 10 ms-2
Final velocity after 2s = u + at = 0 + 10 ms-2 × 2s = 20 ms-1
For the next 4 s; u = 20 m/s, t = 4 s and s = 160 m
Using distance formula;
s = ut + 1

2
at2
or 160 m = 20 ms-1 × 4 s + 1

2
a × 16 s2
or 160 m = 80 m + a × 8s2
= 10 ms-2
80m
or a = 2
8s

Velocity after 7 s can be calculated as follows:

v = u + at = 0 + 10 ms-2 × 7s = 70 ms-1
20.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Uniform velocity means that speed and direction remain unchanged.

21. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: The uniform motion only means that the object is moving at a constant speed but its direction of motion may be
changing at in the case of uniform circular motion. Hence, acceleration is produced in uniform motion due to changes in
velocity.
22. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Initial velocity (u) = 0 , acceleration (a) = 4 m/s2
v = u + at
v = 0 + 4 × 10
v = 40 m/s
23.
(d) A is false but R is true.
Explanation: Speedometer measures instantaneous speed of automobile.
24.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: When a particle is in uniform motion, the magnitude of its velocity at each instant such as t = 0, t = 1s, t = 2s
... etc. is always constant. Hence the velocity versus time graph for a particle in uniform motion along a linear path is a straight
line parallel to the time axis.
25.
(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Average velocity Vav
Total displacement Vt
= Total elapsed time
=
t
=V
= Instantaneous velocity
Hence, assertion is correct. If a particle is in a round trip on a straight line, then average velocity is zero but at the instant at
H
which the particle reverses its direction of motion, velocity is zero. So, reason is correct. But reason is not the correct
explanation of assertion.
HL

26.
(d) 0 kmh-1
Displacement
Explanation: We know that, V elocity = T ime taken

Now, Displacement = Final Position – Initial position

Since the car comes back to its starting point, so, displacement = 0
Therefore, V elocity = 0
= 0 km hr
3.3hr
−1

So, the average velocity for the entire trip would be zero, because its final position and initial position are identical.
27. (a) Negative
Explanation: If a moving body comes to rest, then its acceleration is negative, as it’s velocity becomes zero. therefore the
acceleration is also zero.
28.
u + v
(c) 2

Explanation: Average velocity is the ratio of total displacement or total distance travelled by a body in a given interval of time.
29.
(c) falls back in his hand
Explanation: A person sitting in the truck projected a ball vertically upwards. The ball will fall back in his hand as the ball and
the truck are moving at the same speed.
30.
(b) 1 ms-2
Explanation: Given,
u = 18km/h = 18×1000 / 60×60 = 5m/s
v = 36km/h = 36×1000​/ 60×60 = 10m/s
t = 5 sec

 1st equation of motion,
v = u + at
10 = 5 + 5a
5a = 5
a = 5/5 = 1m/s
31. (a) a ≠ 0
Explanation: The negative value of acceleration signifies deceleration or in other words, the velocity is decreasing.
32.
(c) uniform acceleration
Explanation: From second equation of motion, s = ut + 1

Then, s= 0 × t + 2

So, the object with constant or uniform acceleration.
33.
(b) Positively accelerated
Explanation: If a body starts from rest, it starts moving. that means the change in velocity is positive. That means there is a
POSITIVE acceleration.
34. If the velocity of an object decreases, then the object is said to be moving with negative acceleration. It is also called retardation.
35. S.I. unit of acceleration is metre / second2 (ms-2).
36. Acceleration is defined as the change in velocity per unit time.
37. A car travelling along a straight road having much traffic increases or decreases its speed by unequal amounts in equal intervals of
H
time.
38. If the velocity of an object decreases, then the object is said to be moving with negative acceleration.
HL

39. When the change in velocity of a body takes place in the direction of motion of the body, then the acceleration is positive.
40. Given :
Initial velocity(u) = 0,
Acceleration (a) = 2cm/s2 ,
time(t) = 3 s
final velocity(v)=?
Now, as we know;
v = u + at

v = 0 + 2 ∗ 3 = 6cm/s = 0.06m/s

Therefore the final Velovity of trolly will be 0.06m/s after start.

41. Given u = ?, v = 0, t = 10 s, a = – 2.5 ms – 2
Using v = u + at
We have 0 = u – 2.5 × 10
Therefore u = 25 ms-1
42. Given
Initial speed of train,
u = 90 kmh-1 = 90 × 5

18
= 25 ms-1
Final speed, v = 0 ms-1
Acceleration, a = -0.5 ms-2

Using the relation v2 - u2 = 2aS, we have

43. i. A body is in uniform acceleration when equal changes in velocity take place in equal intervals of time, however small these
intervals may be.

 ii. A body is said to be possessing non-uniform acceleration when unequal changes in velocity take place in equal intervals of
time, however small these intervals may be.
44. Uniform velocity = A body is said to have uniform velocity if it covers equal distance in equal intervals of time in a particular
direction, however the time intervals may be small.
Uniform acceleration = A body is said to possess uniform acceleration if its velocity increases by equal amount in equal intervals
of time, however the time intervals may be small.
45. Given t = 5 s
Initial speed of bus
u = 80 kmh-1 = 80 × 5

18
= 22.2 ms-1
Final speed of the bus
v = 60 kmh-1 = 60 × 5

Now acceleration is given by the relation a = v−u

50. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Satellites revolve around their planets in almost circular orbits with constant speed. Thus, during their motion,
the speed remains constant, while the direction of motion changes continuously. As a result, there is a change in their velocity.
Therefore, the motion of satellites around their planets is considered as accelerated motion.
51.
(c) A is true but R is false.
Explanation: A body has a uniform acceleration if it travels in a straight line and its velocity increases by equal amounts in
equal intervals of time.

(b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
53. (a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
Explanation: A body has a non-uniform acceleration if its velocity increases by unequal amounts in equal intervals of time.
54. (a) Uniformly
Explanation: The relation between velocity and time is a simple one during uniformly accelerated, straight-line motion. The
longer the acceleration, the greater the change in velocity. Change in velocity is directly proportional to time when acceleration
is constant.

For the first drop, 5 = ut + 1

gt2 = 1

2
× 10t2 = 5t2 or t2 = 1 or t = 1 s. It means that the third drop leaves after one second of the
first drop, or each drop leaves after every 0.5 s. Distance covered by the second drop in 0.5 s
= 1

2
gt2 = 1

2
× 10 × (0.5)2 = 1.25 m
Therefore distance of the second drop above the ground = 5 - 1.25 = 3.75 m.

(d) 6.36 km h-1, 0
Explanation: Time taken by the man to go from his home to the market, t1 = 5.5 km

−1
= 1.0 h
5.5 km h

Time taken by the man to return back from the market to his home, t2 = 5.5 km

−1
= 0.73 h
7.5 km h

∴ Total time taken = t1 + t2 = 1.0 h + 0.73 h = 1.73 h = 140 min

In t = 0 to 104 min, total distance travelled = 5.5 km + 5.5 km = 11 km
Displacement = 0 (As the boy returns back home)
∴ Average speed

Distance travelled in last 2 min = 7.5 × 60
