(b) Velocity and acceleration are both changing
(c) Velocity and acceleration are both increasing
(d) Velocity is constant and acceleration is changing direction
2. A graph was plotted showing the velocity of a car as a function of time. If the
graph is a straight line, it means that____________.
(a) the car i s stationed at rest
(b) acceleration was constant
(c) acceleration was increasing
(d) velocity was constant

are shown in below fig. Choose the correct statement.
(a) Car A is faster than car D
(b) Car B is the slowest
(c) Car C is the slowest

per second in 15 seconds is____________
(a) 2.4 m/s2
(b) 1.2 m/s2
(c) 2m/s2
(d) 5.2 m/s2
5. Which of the following can sometimes be 'zero' for a moving body?
a) Average velocity
b) Distance travelled
c) Average speed
d) Displacement
Fill in the blanks:
1. The kinematic equation that relates velocity-displacement is______.
2. The speedometer of a car measures its_______.
3. The slope of x-graph gives the _________ of motion.
4. Area below v-t graph is a measure of ________.
5. If a car is going northward and the driver jams on its brakes, the direction of
its acceleration is_______.
6. A particle is moving in a circular path of radius r. The displacement after half a
circle is_______.
Answer in short:
1. (a) Define average speed.
(b) A bus travels a distance of 120 km with a speed of 40 km/h and returns with a
speed of 30 km/h. Calculate the average speed for the entire journey.
2. Define uniform and non-uniform motion. Write one example for each.
3. Velocity-time graph for the motion of an object in a straight path is a straight line
parallel to the time axis.
(a) Identify the nature of motion of the body.
(b) Find the acceleration of the body.
(c) Draw the shape of distance-time graph for this type of motion.
4. A girl walks along a straight path to drop a letter in the letterbox and comes back to her
initial position. Her displacement-time graph is shown in below figure. Plot a velocity time
graph for the same.
5. An object starting from rest travels 20m in first 2s and 160m in next 4s. What will
be the velocity after 6s from the start.
