PHYSICS - Describing Motion
Q1
Ans. a body is said to be in motion if its position changes w.r.t. a reference point.
Q.2
Ans. Motion is a relative term because a body can be in motion w.r.t. one set of
surroundings and at the same time can be at rest w.r.t. another set of surroundings.
eg. a person sitting in a moving car is at rest w.r.t his co-passengers whereas he is
in motion w.r.t. person standing outside.
Q.3
Ans. Scaler quantities are those which can be described by their magnitude only.
e.g. Mass, time, temperature, length, distance, speed etc.
Vector quantities are those quantities which need both magnitude and
direction for their description. e.g. displacement velocity, acceleration, force etc.
Q.4
Ans. Distance is the length of the actual path covered by the body. it is a scalar
quantity.
Dispalacement is the shortest distance from the initial to the final position. it is the
vector quantity.
Note that the magnitude of the displacement for a course of motion may be
zero but the corresponding distance covered is not zero.
Q5. What is the distance covered and the displacement of a body moving along a
semi-circular path of a radius "R".
Ans. Distantce = 22/7 R
Displacement = 2R
Q.6
Ans. Speed is the distance covered by a body per unit time. It is a scaler quantity.
Velocity is the speed of a body in a particular direction. It is a vector
quantity.
Q7.
Ans. Uniform Motion - if a body covers equal distance in equal intervals of time
in a straigt line, it is said to be in uniform motion. e.g light has a uniform motion.
Non Uniform motion - if a body covers unequal distance in equal intervals
of time, it is said to have non-uniform motion. e.g. a freely falling body, a car
moving in a crowded road.
Q.8
ans.
Define Accelration?
speed..
Q12 Draw speed-time graph showing uniform and non uniform motion.
NOTE The area enclosed by velocity-time graph and the time axis will be
equal to the magnitude of the displacement.
