Motion
1.An object has moved through a distance can it have zero displacement? If yes, support your answer with an example.
Answer:
In the figure distance of an object moved from 0 to A is 60 km and distance travelled is 60 km and displacement is 60 km. From 0 to A and back to B, distance travelled is 60 km + 25 km = 85 km. But displacement (35 km) is not equal to distance travelled (85 km). If we observe like this, displacement of a body is zero, but distance travelled is not zero, starting from point ‘0’ and returning back to ‘O’ final position is mixing with initial point. Hence displacement is zero.
2.A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds from his initial position?
Answer:
A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40s
2 minutes 20 seconds means 140 seconds.
Distance travelled by farmer
= 4040 × 140 m
= 140 m.
∴ Farmer moves for 2 minutes 20 seconds. It means 14040 = 3.5 rounds
From the original point, he moves for 2 minutes 20 seconds.
Case i)
Original point means any point in the corner of the field. In this case he moves for 2 min 20 seconds from the diagonal of the field.
Displacement is equal to diagonal of the field displacement
= 102+102−−−−−−−−√
= 14.1 m.
Case ii)
Original point means any point in the middle of the side of the field.
∴ Displacement is equal to any side of the field = 10 m.
It means displacement is between any original point ie in between 14.1 m and 10 m.

8.During an experiment, a signal from a spaceship reached the ground station in five minutes. What was the distance of the spaceship from the ground station? The signal travels at the speed of light, which is 3 × 10 ms-1.
Answer:
Time taken by the signal to reach the ground station from the spaceship = 5 min = 5 × 60 = 300 seconds
Speed of the signal = 3 × 108 m/s.
Speed = Total distance travelled Total time taken

Time taken by the signal to reach the ground station from the spaceship = 5 min = 5 × 60 = 300 seconds
Speed of the signal = 3 × 108 m/s.
Speed = Total distance travelled Total time taken
∴ Distance travelled = speed × time taken

16.A bus starting from rest moves with a uniform acceleration of 0.1 ms-2 for 2 minutes. Find
(a) the speed acquired,
(b) the distance travelled.
Answer:
(a) Initial velocity of the bus u = 0 (Bus is at rest).
acceleration, a = 0.1 ms-2
time t = 2 minutes = 120 seconds
Let the speed of bus be ‘V’
∴ v = 12m/s
(b) As per third law of motion:
v2 – u2 = 2as
(12)2 – (0)2 = 2(0. 1)s
∴ s = 720 m.
the speed of acquired by bus = 12 m/s.
the distance travelled = 720 m.
17.A train is travelling at a speed of 90 kmh-1 Brakes are applied so as to produce a uniform acceleration of -0.5 ms-2. Find how far the train will go before it is brought to rest.
Answer:
Let the initial speed of the train be u = 90 Km/h
= 25 m/s.
Final speed of the train, v = 0 (train comes to rest)
acceleration a = 0.5 ms-2
As per 3rd law of motion
v2 = u2 + 2as
(0)2 = (25)2 + 2(0.5)s
s = train travelled distance
Train will travel 625 km before it is brought to rest.
18.A trolley, while going down an inclined plane has an acceleration of 2cms-2 what will be its velocity 3s after the start?
Answer:
Initial velocity of a trolley, u = 0 (at rest)
acceleration, a = 2 cms-2 = 0.02 m/s2 time t = 3S
As per 1 st law of motion
v = u + at
Here V means velocity of a trolley after 3 s
V = 0 + 0.02 × 3
= 0.06 m/s.
∴ = 0.06 m/s.

Answer:
The initial velocity of a stone, u = 5 ms-1.
Final velocity of a stone v = 0 (at rest)
If the acceleration of the stone during its motion is = -10ms-2.
Let the maximum height be ‘s’

1.An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m. in the 40s. What will be the distance covered and the displace¬ment at the end of 2 minutes 20s?
Answer:
Diameter of circular track, d = 200 m.
radius of the circular track,

7.A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10ms-1 with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?
Answer:
Distance ball covers, S = 20 m
acceleration, a = 10Kmh-1 = 10 m/s
initial velocity, u = 0 (at rest)
When ball strikes, its final velocity,
According to 3rd law of motion
v2 = u2 + 2as
v2 = 0 + 2(10)(20)
v = 20 m/s.
According to 1 st Law of motion v = u + at
Time taken by ball to strike the ground, t,
20 = 0 + 10 (t)
∴ t = 2s
∴ 2s is required to ball for striking the ground and velocity is 20 m/s

2.Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 M road in 2 minutes 30 seconds and then turns around and jogs 100 M back to point C in another 1 minute. What are Joseph’s average speeds and velocities in jogging (a) from A to B and (b) from A to C?
Answer:
a) from A to B distance covered by Joseph = 300 M.
Time taken to cover this distance

Displacement = Nearest distance between A and B = 300 m.
Time taken = 150s
Average velocity = ygy = 2 m/s.
b) From A to C :
Total distance covered = Distance between A to B + distance between B to C
= 300 + 100 = 400 m.
Total time taken to cover from A to B + Time taken to cover from B to C
= 150 + 60= 210s.
Displacement from A to C
= AC + AB – BC
= 300 – 100

Total time taken = Time taken to travel from A to B + Time taken to travel from B to C
= 210 s
