Science – Motion, Force & Laws (Exam Notes)

B. Short Answer (2 × 2 = 4 marks)


4. Define displacement.
Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final positions of a body in a specific
direction.

5. What is inertia?
Inertia is the tendency of a body to resist any change in its state of rest or of uniform motion.

C. Long Answer (3 × 3 = 9 marks)


6. Differences between Mass & Weight

Mass Weight

Amount of matter in a body Force with which Earth attracts the body

Constant everywhere Changes with gravitational acceleration

SI unit: kg SI unit: Newton (N)

Scalar quantity Vector quantity

7. Newton’s 3rd Law

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction.

Examples: - Gun recoil - Walking on ground

8. Work Work is done when a force produces displacement in its direction.

Formula: W = F × s

Work is zero when: - Displacement = 0 - Force is perpendicular to displacement

D. Case Study (4 × 1 = 4 marks)


A stone is thrown upward with 10 m/s.

Question Answer

9. Acceleration upward –9.8 m/s²

10. Velocity at top 0 m/s

1
Question Answer

11. Force acting Gravitational force

12. Type of motion Non-uniform

E. Detailed Answer (1 × 5 = 5 marks)


13. First equation of motion (v = u + at)

From the velocity–time graph:

a = (v – u) / t ⇒ v = u + at

(Include neat labelled graph in exam)

✔ Total Marks = 25
