Short Answer Questions

12. No. Though the moving object comes back to its initial position the distance
travelled is not zero.

13. Acceleration a = 0, v = u
s = ut
v2 – u2 = 0

15. The distance travelled in first 8 s, x1= 0 + (5) (8)2 = 160 m.
2
At this point the velocity v = u+ at = 0 + (5×8) =40 m s–1
Therefore, the distance covered in last four seconds, x 2 = (40 × 4) m =160 m
Thus, the total distance x = x 1+x 2 = (160+ 160) m = 320 m

17. (i) Since velocity is not changing, acceleration is equal to zero.
(ii) Reading the graph, velocity = 20 m s-1
(iii) Distance covered in 15 seconds, s = u ×t = 20 × 15 = 300 m

Long Answer Questions

19. Initial difference in height = (150 – 100) m = 50 m
1
Distance travelled by first body in 2 s = h 1 = 0 + g (2)2 = 2 g
2

1
Distance travelled by another body in 2 s = h2 = 0 + g (2)2 = 2 g
2

After 2 s, height at which the first body will be = h 1′ = 150 – 2 g

After 2 s, height at which the second body will be = h 2′ = 100 – 2 g

Thus, after 2 s, difference in height = 150 – 2 g – (100 – 2 g)
= 50 m = initial difference in height
Thus, difference in height does not vary with time.

v = u + at = 0 + (10 × 2) = 20 m s–1

s2 = 160 = vt′ + a′ (t′ )2 = (20 × 4) + ( a′ × 16) ⇒ a ′ =10 m s–2

Since acceleration is the same, we have v ′ =0+ (10 × 7) = 70 m s–1

22. Given initial velocity, u = 5 × 104 m s-1

and acceleration, a = 104 m s–2
(i) final velocity = v = 2 u = 2 × 5 ×10 4 m s–1 =10 × 10 4 m s –1
