Chapter 2 – Kinematics

Key Definitions & Notes:


- Rest & Motion: Relative concepts
- Speed: Distance/Time
- Velocity: Displacement/Time
- Acceleration: Change in velocity/time
- Uniform vs Non-uniform motion
- Graphical Representation: Distance-time & velocity-time graphs

Formulas:
- v = u + at
- s = ut + 1/2 at^2
- v^2 = u^2 + 2as

MCQs (with Answers):


1. SI unit of acceleration: m/s² ✅
2. Area under velocity-time graph gives: Displacement ✅

Short Q/A:
Q1: Define velocity.
A: Velocity is the rate of change of displacement with respect to time.

Q2: What is the difference between speed and velocity?


A: Speed is scalar (no direction), velocity is vector (with direction).

Q3: Define acceleration.


A: The rate of change of velocity with respect to time.

Q4: Write the equation of motion for displacement.


A: s = ut + 1/2 at^2.

Q5: What does the slope of a velocity-time graph represent?


A: Acceleration.

Long Questions:
1. Differentiate between speed and velocity with examples.
2. Define acceleration and explain positive and negative acceleration.
3. Derive the equations of uniformly accelerated motion.
4. Draw and explain the displacement-time graph for uniform motion.
5. Explain velocity-time graphs and how displacement is calculated from them.
6. Describe rest and motion as relative concepts with examples.
Important Numericals (Statements Only):
1. A body starts from rest and attains a velocity of 20 m/s in 4 seconds. Find acceleration.
2. A car covers 100 m in 5 seconds with uniform acceleration from rest. Find the
acceleration.
