Multiple Choice Questions (MCQs):

1. A body is thrown horizontally with a velocity of 10 m/s from the top of a building. The
height of the building is 45 m. What is the time taken by the body to reach the ground? a)
3s
b) 4.5 s
c) 6 s
d) 9 s
2. If a particle moves with constant speed in a circular path, then: a) Velocity remains
constant
b) Acceleration remains zero
c) Acceleration is directed along the radius
d) The velocity changes direction continuously

2. Short Answer Questions:

1. Define displacement and distance in the context of motion in a plane. How are they
different from each other?
2. A projectile is launched at an angle of 30° with a speed of 20 m/s. Write the expression
for horizontal and vertical components of the velocity.
3. State and explain the significance of the vector addition method in analyzing motion in
two dimensions.

3. Numerical Problems:

1. A particle is moving with a velocity of v1⃗=5i^+3j^\vec{v_1} = 5 \hat{i} + 3 \hat{j}v1


=5i^+3j^ m/s. After 2 seconds, the velocity changes to v2⃗=2i^−1j^\vec{v_2} = 2 \hat{i} -
1 \hat{j}v2=2i^−1j^ m/s. Calculate the acceleration vector of the particle.
2. A football is kicked with an initial velocity of 20 m/s at an angle of 45° to the horizontal.
Find:
o The time of flight
o The maximum height reached
o The horizontal range of the football
(Take g=9.8 m/s2g = 9.8 \, \text{m/s}^2g=9.8m/s2)

4. Long Answer/Derivation Questions:

1. Derive the equations of motion for a projectile under the influence of gravity. State any
assumptions made.
2. Explain the concept of relative velocity with an example involving two cars moving in
different directions.

5. Assertion-Reason Questions:

 Assertion: The horizontal component of velocity remains constant in projectile motion.


 Reason: The gravitational force does not act along the horizontal direction.
Choose the correct option: a) Both Assertion and Reason are true, and Reason is the correct
explanation of Assertion
b) Both Assertion and Reason are true, but Reason is not the correct explanation of Assertion
c) Assertion is true, but Reason is false
d) Assertion is false, but Reason is true
