WORKSHEET - MOTION
1. A particle is moving in a circle of diameter 5m. Calculate the distance covered and
the
displacement when it competes 3 revolutions.
2. A body thrown vertically upwards reaches a maximum height ‘h’. It then returns to
ground.
Calculate the distance travelled and the displacement.
3. A body travels a distance of 15m from A to B and then moves a distance of 20m at
right
angles to AB. Calculate the total distance travelled and the displacement.
4. An object is moving in a circle of radius ‘r’. Calculate the distance and displacement
(i) when it completes half the circle
(ii) when it completes one full circle.
5. An object travels 16m in 4s and then another 16m in 2s. What is the average speed of
the
object?
6. Vishnu swims in a 90m long pool. He covers 180m in one minute by swimming from
one
end to the other and back along the same straight path. Find the average speed and
average
velocity of Vishnu.
7. In along distance race, the athletics were expected to take four rounds of the track
such that
the line of finish was same as the line of start. Suppose the length of the track was
200m.
(a) What is the total distance to be covered by the athletics?
(b) What is the displacement of the athletics when they touch the finish line?
(c) Is the motion of the athletics uniform or non-uniform?
(d) Is the displacement of an athletic and the distance covered by him at the end of the
race equal?
8. Starting from a stationary position, Bhuvan paddles his bicycle to attain a velocity of
6m/s
in 30s. Then he applies brakes such that the velocity of bicycle comes down to 4m/s in
the
next 5s. Calculate the acceleration of the bicycle in both the cases.
9. Amit is moving in his car with a velocity of 45km/hr. How much distance will he cover
(a) in one minute and
(b) in one second.
10. The odometer of a car reads 2000 km at the start of a trip and 2400km at the end of
the trip.
If the trip took 8 hr, calculate the average speed of the car in km/hr and m/s.
11. An electric train is moving with a velocity of 120km/hr. How much distance will it
move in
30s?
12. A body is moving with a velocity of 15m/s. If the motion is uniform, what will be the
velocity after 10s?
13. A train travels some distance with a speed of 30km/hr and returns with a speed of
45km/hr.
Calculate the average speed of the train.
14. A train 100m long moving on a straight level track passes a pole in 5s. Find
(a) the speed of the train
(b) the time it will take to cross a bridge 500m long.
15. A car travels along a straight line for first half time with speed 40km/hr and the
second half
time with speed 60km/hr. Find the average speed of the car.
16. A body starts rolling over a horizontal surface with an initial velocity of 0.5m/s. Due
to
friction, its velocity decreases at the rate of 0.05m/s2
. How much time will it take for the
body to stop?
17. A car traveling at 36km/hr speeds upto 70km/hr in 5 seconds. What is its
acceleration? If
the same car stops in 20s, what is the retardation?
18. A scooter acquires a velocity of 36km/hr in 10seconds just after the start. It takes
20
seconds to stop. Calculate the acceleration in the two cases.
19. On a 120km track, a train travels the first 30 km at a uniform speed of 30 km/hr.
How fast
must the train travel the next 90 km so as to average 60 km/hr for the entire trip?
20. A train travels at 60 km/hr for 0.52 hr; at 30 km/hr for the next 0.24 hr and at 70
km/hr for
the next 0.71 hr. What is the average speed of the train?
