40 km/h throughout the journey. At this rate he will take 2.5 h to cover a distance of 80 km from his
home to office.
Reason: In non-uniform motion, objects covers unequal distance in equal interval of time.

assertion.

the assertion

Section E (Case Study, 4 Marks Each)
Q18. Read the following Paragraph and answer the questions below based on your
understanding of the paragraph and the related studied concept.
An object need not move at a constant speed. Object will typically move in non-uniform ways. We
therefore express the speed of such objects as a measure of their rate of motion. By dividing the whole
distance travelled by the total time required , one can determine an object's average speed .i.e,
𝑇𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝐷𝑖𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑐𝑒 𝑇𝑟𝑎𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑑
Average speed = 𝑡𝑜𝑡𝑎𝑙 𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒 𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒𝑛
Questions :
(i) An object travels 20 m in 4 s and then another 20 m in 4 s. What is the average speed in m/s of the
objects?
(ii) Kshitij starts walking from Point P on a circular field of radius 3.5 km and he reaches same point P
after one hour completing one round. Determine his speed (in kmh-1). [Take π = 22/7 ]
OR
(ii) Kiran travelled on square field of side 10 m. She completed one round of field by taking time 3 s, 2 s
,1s and 2 s respectively for each side. Find her average speed. [4 Marks]
Q19. Read the following Paragraph and answer the questions below based on your
understanding of the paragraph and the related studied concept.
Teacher explained the terms distance , displacement , speed , velocity and acceleration. She also
discussed different types of motion. Later as a class activity she asked Leela, Sahil and Mia to plot
possible distance-time graphs to represent non-accelerated motion of an object. Leela ploted graph (i)
while Sahil and Mia respectively ploted (ii) and (iii) as shown below.
