WS 01 - Grade 9 Ch-8 Motion
1. Suppose a ball is thrown vertically upwards from a position P above the ground. It
rises to the highest point Q and returns to the same point P. What is the net
displacement and distance travelled by the ball?
2.Given below is the velocity-time graph for the motion of the car. What does the
nature of the graph show ? Also find the acceleration of the car.
5.The driver of train A travelling at a speed of 54 kmh -1 applies brakes and retards
the train uniformly. The train stops in 5 seconds. Another train B is travelling on the
parallel with a speed of 36 kmh-1. Its driver applies the brakes and the train retards
uniformly; train B stops in 10 seconds. Plot speed-time graphs for both the trains on
the same axis. Which of the trains travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
Numerical Problems
Question 1.
Study the speed-time graph of a body given here and answer the following
questions:
2.The graph given below shows the positions of a body at different times. Calculate
the speed of the body as it moves from
(i) A to B
(ii) B to C and
(iii) C to D.
Question 3.
Distance travelled by a train and time taken by it is shown in the following table, (i)
Plot distance-time graph. (ii) What is the average speed of the train? (iii) When is
the train travelling at the highest speed? (iv) At what distance does the train slow
down? (v) Calculate the speed of the train between 10:40 AM to 11:00 AM.
4.The velocity-time graph shows the motion of a cyclist. Find (i) its acceleration (ii)
its velocity and (iii) the distance covered by the cyclist in 15 seconds.
5.A body starts to slide over a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 0.5 m/s.
Due to friction, its velocity decreases at the rate 0.05 m/s 2. How much time will it
take for the body to stop?
Question 6.
A particle moves in a circle with O as centre and AO = OB = 5 cm, as radius, as
shown in the figure. It starts from A. Calculate:
(a) the distance covered, and
(b) the displacement, when it reaches B.
7.A body travels along a circular path of radius 70 m. After travelling half a
revolution in 20 s, find the
(i) average velocity,
(ii) average speed.
8.A cheetah is the fastest land animal and can achieve a peak velocity of 100 km/h
up to distances less than 500 m. If a cheetah spots its prey at a distance of 100 m,
what is the minimum time it will take to get its prey, if the average velocity attained
by it is 90 km/h?
10.A car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with a constant acceleration 5
ms-2 for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the
car cover in 12 seconds since it started from the rest?
