Question Paper-i Answer The Following Question
Question 1.Derive the three equations of motion by graphical method.
Answer:Equations of motion from velocity – time graph:
Graph shows the change in velocity with time for an uniformly accelerated object. The object starts from the point D in the graph with velocity u. Its velocity keeps increasing and after time t it reaches the point B on the graph.
The initial velocity of the object = u = OD = EA
The final velocity of the object = v = OC = EB
Time = t = OE = DA
Also from the graph we know that, AB = DC
First equation of motion
By definition, acceleration = change in velocity / time
= (final velocity – initial velocity)/ time
= (OC – OD) / OE
= DC / OE
a = DC / t
DC = AB = at
From the graph EB = EA + AB
v = u + at
This is first equation of motion
Second equation of motion
From the graph the distance covered by the object during time t is given by the area of quadrangle DOEB
s = area of the quadrangle DOEB
= area of the rectangle DOEA + area of the triangle DAB
= (AE × OE) + (1/2 × AB × DA)
s =
This is second equation of motion.
Third equation of motion
From the graph the distance covered by the object during time t is given by the area of the quadrangle DOEB.
Here DOEB is a trapezium.
Then,
S = area of trapezium DOEB
= 1/2 × sum of length of parallel side × distance between parallel sides
= 1/2 × (OD + BE) × OE
= 
since 
Therefore

The motion of a city bus in a heavy traffic road is an example for uniform motion.
Answer:
False
During heavy Traffic Jam, Bus accelerates as well as decelerates following a non-uniform motion.
Question 2.
Acceleration can get negative value also.
Answer:
True
For Example, If an object is having some initial velocity ’u’, after covering some distance, it finally stops i.e ‘v’ is zero.In this case, acceleration is negative or object decelerates to rest.
Question 3.
Distance covered by a particle never becomes zero between any interval of time but displacement becomes zero.
Answer:
True
Consider the case of circular motion. If an object completes one revolution. The distance covered will be 2 Ï€ r but the displacement will be zero because the object’s initial and final positions are same.
Question 4.
The velocity-time graph of a particle falling freely under gravity would be a straight line parallel to the x-axis.
Answer:
False
Since the body is experiencing a force. It will accelerate and velocity will change, hence it will not be parallel to the x-axis.
Question 5.
If the velocity-time graph of a particle is a straight line inclined to time axis then its displacement – time graph will be a straight line?
Answer:
False
According to Second Equation of Motion
The graph will be parabolic not the straight line.

Question 1.Derive equations of motion by graphical method.
Answer:Derivation of equations by graphical method.
Equations of motion from velocity-time graph:
The graph shows the change in velocity with time for a uniformly accelerated object. The object starts from the point D in the graph with velocity u. Its velocity keeps increasing and after time t it reaches the point B on the graph.
The initial velocity of the object = u = OD = EA
The final velocity of the object = v = OC = EB
Time = t = OE = DA
Also from the graph we know that, AB = DC
First equation of motion
By definition, acceleration 
DC = AB = at
From the graph EB = EA + AB
v = u + at
This is the first equation of motion
Second equation of motion
From the graph, the distance covered by the object during time t is given by the area of quadrangle DOEB
s = area of the quadrangle DOEB

Question 3.An Athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 m and 20 s?
Answer:Given: diameter of circular track(d) = 200 m
Time is taken to complete one round = the 40s
Therefore, length of the track = π d
= 200Ï€
Speed of the athlete= distance travelled/time taken
= 200Ï€ /40
= 5Ï€ m/s
Distance covered after 2m 20s (140s)
Distance = speed × time
= 5Ï€× 140
=700Ï€ (m)
During the coverage of 700Ï€ (m) the athlete makes 3 and half round of the circular track. So the displacement is equal to the diameter of the track = 200 m.

= 5Ï€ m/s
Distance covered after 2m 20s (140s)
Distance = speed × time
= 5Ï€× 140
=700Ï€ (m)
During the coverage of 700Ï€ (m) the athlete makes 3 and half round of the circular track. So the displacement is equal to the diameter of the track = 200 m.
