Unit 2 - Force and Motion
Unit 2. Force and motion
I. Choose the correct answer
1. Unit of speed is
a. m b. s c. kg d. m/s
Answer: (d) m/s
2. Oscillatory motion among the following is
a. Rotation of the earth about its axis b. Revolution of the moon about the earth c. To and fro
movement of a vibrating string d. All of these.
Answer: (c) To and fro movement of a vibrating string
3. The correct relation among the following is
1. Speed = distance × time
2. Speed = distance / time.
3. Speed = time / distance
4. Speed = 1 / (distance × time)
Answer: (b) Speed = distance / time
4. Gita rides with her father’s bike to her uncle’s house which is 40 km away from her home. She
takes 40 minutes to reach there.
Statement 1 : She travels with a speed of 1 km / minute.
Statement 2 : She travels with a speed of 1 km/hour
a. Statement 1 alone is correct.
b. Statement 2 alone is correct.
c. Both statement 1 and 2 are correct.
d. Neither statement 1 nor statement 2 is correct.
Answer: (a) Statement 1 alone is correct.
II. Fill in the blanks
1. A bike moving on a straight road is an example of Linear motion.
2. Gravitational force is a non-contact force.
3. Motion of a potter’s wheel is an Example for Rotary of motion.
4. When an object covers equal distances in equal interval of time, it is said to be in uniform
motion.
III. Find whether the following statements are true or false. if false give the correct answer
1. To and fro motion is called oscillatory motion. [True]
2. Vibratory motion and rotatory motion are periodic motions. [True]
3. Vehicles moving with varying speeds are said to be in uniform motion. [False]
Correct answer : Vehicles moving with varying speeds are said to be in non uniform motion.
4. Robots will replace human in future. [False]
Correct answer : Robots will not replace human in future.
IV. Match the following
V. Given below is the distance-travelled by an elephant across a forest with uniform speed.
Complete the data of the table given below with the idea of uniform speed.
VI. Analogy
1. kicking a ball : contact force :: falling of leaf : Non- contact force
2. Distance : metre :: speed : metre / sec
3. circulatory motion :: a spinning top :: oscillatory motion : To and fro motion of hand.
