Question 13.
Draw velocity-time graph for a body moving with a constant velocity of 40 kmh-1.
To draw a velocity-time graph of a car moving with constant velocity’ of 40 kmh-1. It means, car covers a distance of 40 km in an hour, 80 km in two hours, 120 km in 3 hours and so on, it can be seen from figure, that velocity-time graph is a straight line and parallel to time axis. It is true for all velocity-time graphs when motion is uniform.

Question 14.
How we can calculate the distance covered by a body in a given time by using velocity¬time graph ?
Suppose the velocity-time graph of a car moving with speed of 40 kmh-1 is as the given figure. Let us consider, we have to calculate the distance covered by the car between time and t2. Draw perpendiculars from points t1 and t2 on time axis as shown in figure.

By this, we obtain a rectangle ABCD between graph and X-axis. In this rectangle side AD is equal to BC, which is equal to (t2 -t1), and side AB is equal to CD, which is similar to 40 kmh-1. We know that, if a body moving with velocity (v) covers a distance (.s’) in time (?) then,
s = vt
∴ Distance covered by the car in time (t2 – t1) = [(40 kmh-1) (t2 – t1)h]
= 40(t2 – t1) km
= Area of rectangle ABCD or the area under velocity-time graph shows the distance covered by the car. This is true for any velocity-time graph, whether velocity is uniform or non-uniform,

Question 15.
How velocity is calculated by straight-lined distance-time graph ? Explain.
We can calculate the velocity of a car from its distance-time graph. In fig., think about the smaller part AB of distance-time graph of motion of car. We draw a straight-line from point A parallel to X-axis and from point B parallel to Y-axis to find the velocity of car. These two straight lines meet at a point C and make a AABC. Now, on graph, AC represents time-interval (t2 – t1), and BC is equal to distance (s2 – s1). It can be seen from the graph that when car move from point A to B, it covers a distance (s2 – s1) in time (t2 – t1)
Velocity of car = $$\frac{s_2-s_1}{t_2-t_1}$$

Question 16.
Show uniformly accelerated motion, non-uniformly accelerated motion and uniform retarded motion by graph.
1. Uniformly Accelerated Motion: In uniformly-accelerated motion, speed-time graph is a straight a line.

2. Non-uniformly Accelerated Motion: In non-uniformly accelerated motion, speed-time graph is a

3. Uniformly Retarded Motion: In uniformly retardation, the acceleration is negative (-ve) and velocity time graph is a straight line.

Question 17.
Draw speed-time graph for a body, moving in a straight line. What the slope of this straight line show ?
If there is equal change in the velocity of a body in equal intervals of time, then we can say that the body is moving with uniform acceleration. The speed-time graph for a body moving in a straight-line is shown in figure. If the speed of the body is v1 at time t1 and v2 at time t2, then
acceleration of the body, a = $$\frac{v_2-v_1}{t_2-t_1}$$

The time intervals (t2 – t1) and (t4 -t3) are equal as shown in figure, because the change in heights of speed are also equal. Therefore, this graph shows the motion of such a body, which is moving with uniform acceleration.
The speed-time graph of a body moving with uniform acceleration is a straight line. The acceleration of such body is the slope of this straight line.

Question 18.
How you will prove that the motion is relative ?
In order to prove that the motion is relative, we can compare the passengers sitting in a moving bus or train with road or trees standing near the track, vehicle or persons, e.g. the passengers sitting inside the bus . or train are in rest as compared to the luggage lying inside, but are in motion as compared to outsided objects.

Question 20.
What is meant by uniform circular motion ? Justify your answer with example.
When a body moves on circular track, it changes its direction at every point. Actually, circle is a polygon figure which has infinite sides. In figure any circular shaped track can be called a polygon of inner-sides. Therefore, a body moving in a circle with uniform speed is an example of accelerated motion. Although, there is no change in the speed of the body, but the direction of the motion of body is continuously changes. Example – Take a piece of thread and tie one stone on its one end and rotate it, it will be in a circular motion.

Question 11.
A body moves with velocity of 2 ms-1 for 5 seconds, in next 5 seconds, its velocity increases to 10 ms-1 due to uniform acceleration. After that, its velocity decreases uniformly and comes in rest in 10 seconds, then
(a) draw velocity-time and distance-time graphs for the motion of the body.
(b) Show that portion in graph, where the motion is uniform and non-uniform.
(c) From graph, find the distance covered by the body after 2s and 12s and in the last lOs.
(a) Velocity-time graph: The velocity of the body is 2 ms for first 5 seconds, which is marked
by AB in the graph. After that, it becomes 10 mst in another 5 seconds (between 5 and 10 s), which is marked
by BC in the graph. After that the body comes in rest in next 10 seconds, which is marked by CD in the graph.

(b) Distance-time graph: Because the speed of the body is not uniform. Therefore, distance-time graph is not a straight-line

From velocity-time graph, we find that the motion of the body is uniform in AB part, whereas the motion is non-uniform in BC and CD parts.
(c) (1)The distance covered by the body in 2s = 2 x 2 = 4 m.
(2) The distance covered by the body in 12 s = area of [OB’BA + BBC’C + CC’FF’]
Now, the area of rectangle OBBA = 2 x 5 = 10
Area of trapezium BB’C’C = $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x (BB’ + CC’) x B’C
= $$\frac {1}{2}$$ (2 + 10) x 5
= $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x 12 x 5 = 30
Area of trapezium CC’FF’ = 4- (CC’ + FF’) x CF’
= $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x (10 + 8) x 2 = $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x 18 x 2 = 18
∴ The distance covered by the body in 12 sec 10 + 30 + 18 = 58 metres

(3) Distance covered in last lO seconds area of (trap. CC’ F’F + right-angle ∆FF’D
Now, area of trapezium CC’F’F = x (CC + FF’) x C’F’
= $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x (10 + 8) x 2
= $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x 18 x 2 = 18

Area of right-angle ∆FF’D = $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x F’D x F’F = $$\frac {1}{2}$$ x 8 x 8 = 32
∴ Distance covered in last 10 seconds = 18 + 32 = 50 metres.

Essay Type Question

Question 1
Prove the following equations:
(i) v = u + at2
(ii) s = ut + ut2
(iii) v2 – u2 = 2as
Solution:
(i) Let the initial velocity of the body = u
Time = t
Final velocity = v
Change in velocity = v – u
Rate of change in velocity (acceleration), a = $$\frac {v – u}{t}$$
at = v – u
at+u = v
v = u + at
Let the initial velocity of the body = u
Acceleration = a
and after time t, final velocity = v
1f after t sec, the distance is s, then distance (s) = average velocity x time
But, average velocity = $$\frac {v – u}{t}$$
∴Distance (s) = $$\frac {v – u}{t}$$
s = $$\frac {v – u}{2}$$ x t
s = $$\frac {u + u + at}{2}$$ x t [∴v = u + at]
s = $$\frac {2u + 2t}{2}$$ x t
s = $$\left(\frac{2 u t+a t^2}{2}\right)=\frac{2 u t}{2}+\frac{a t^2}{2}$$
s = ut + $$\frac {1}{2}$$ at2

(iii) We know that, v = u + at
Squaring both sides
(v)2 = (u + at)2
v2 = u2 + a2t2 + 2uat
v2 – u2 = a2t2 + 2uaI
v2– u2 = 2uat + a2t2

v2– u2 = 2a(ut + $$\frac {1}{2}$$ at2)
v2– u2 = 2as

Practical Work

Experiment 1:
Describe one activity for the difference between distance and displacement.

Procedure:
Take a metre scale and a long rope. Walk from one corner of a basket-ball court to its opposite corner way and measure with the help of scale. This will be the distance covered by you, whereas you will get displacement by putting a straight-rope from one corner to another. Suppose ABCD is basket-ball court. Distance to go from A to C AB + BC, whereas displacement = AC.

Experiment 2:
Clarify with an activity that direction of motion changes at every point on circular track

Procedure:
Take a piece of thread and tie a small piece of stone at one of its ends, move the stone to describe a circular path with constant speed by holding the thread at the other end as shown in figure. Now, let the stone go by releasing with thread and measure the direction of stone.

By repeating the activity for a few times and releasing the stone at different positions of circular path, check whether the direction in which the stone moves remains the same or not If you carefully note, on being released the stone moves along a straight line tangential to the circular path. This is because once the stone is’ released, it continues to move along the direction it has been moving at that instant. This shows that the direction of mot ion changes at every point when the stone was moving along the circular path.
