MCQ 11 Mark
The velocity of a body can change:
  • A
    If its acceleration is zero.
  • If its acceleration is non-zero.
  • C
    Both $A \& B$
  • D
    None of the above.
Answer
Correct option: B.
If its acceleration is non-zero.

Acceleration is defined as change of velocity in unit time.
So if acceleration is zero, there is no change of velocity, the body is moving with a constant velocity.

MCQ 51 Mark
When two bodies moves uniformly towards each her then they cross each other at the speed of $10\ m/s$. If both the bodies move in the same direction, then they cross each other at the speed of 6m/s. The speed of both bodies are:
  • $8\ m/s, 2\ m/s$
  • B
    $8\ m/s, 4\ m/s$
  • C
    $6\ m/s, 2\ m/s$
  • D
    $6\ m/s, 4\ m/s$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$8\ m/s, 2\ m/s$

Let the objects speed be $x$ and $y$ respectively, when moving towards each other:
$x + y = 10 ...(1)$
and, when moving in same direction
$x - y = 6 ...(2)$
now,
adding $1$ and $2$ we get
$2x = 16m/s$
$x = 8m/s$
and,
putting this in $1$
$y = 2m/s$
The speed of the bodies is $8 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$ and $2 \mathrm{~m} / \mathrm{s}^2$.

MCQ 101 Mark
A stone tied to a string is whirled in a circle. As it is revolving, the rope suddenly breaks.Then:
  • The stone flies off tangential to the circle of rotation
  • B
    The stone moves radially inward
  • C
    The stone moves radially outward
  • D
    The motion of the stone depends upon its velocity
Answer
Correct option: A.
The stone flies off tangential to the circle of rotation
When a stone is going around a circular path, the instantaneous velocity of stone is acting as tangent to the circle.
When the string breaks, the centripetal force stops to act.
Due to inertia, the stone continues to move along the tangent to circular path.
So, the stone flies off tangentially to the circular path

Uniform circular motion is called continuously accelerated motion mainly because its:
  • Direction of motion changes
  • B
    Speed remains the same
  • C
    Velocity remains the same
  • D
    Direction of motion does not change
Answer
Correct option: A.
Direction of motion changes
An accelerating body is an object that is changing its velocity.
And since velocity is a vector that has both magnitude and direction, a change in either the magnitude or the direction constitutes a change in the velocity.

$y =$ constant: Uniform motion
$a =$ constant: __________
  • A
    Non-uniformly accelerated.
  • B
    Uniformly accelerated.
  • $v = 0$ at, $t = 0.$
  • D
    Circular motion.
Answer
Correct option: C.
$v = 0$ at, $t = 0.$

No, when a body is under uniform acceleration doesn't mean that it is under uniform motion. Uniform acceleration means, that the velocity of body is changing with a constant rate. Uniform motion is the kind of motion in which a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time. It means that speed is constant.

MCQ 161 Mark
In a uniform circular motion-
  • A
    Both velocity and acceleration are constant.
  • B
    Acceleration and speed are constant but velocity changes.
  • C
    Both acceleration and velocity change
  • Both acceleration and speed are constant
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both acceleration and speed are constant
For a body moving in uniform circular motion the speed attained by the object will remain constant not the velocity as velocity depends on the direction of motion, and in circular motion the direction of the object changes at every point.
As speed remains constant the acceleration will remain constant.

MCQ 171 Mark
A body cannot have a:
  • A
    zero speed and non-zero acceleration
  • B
    non-zero speed and zero acceleration
  • constant velocity and a varying speed
  • D
    constant speed and a varying velocity
Answer
Correct option: C.
constant velocity and a varying speed

Speed of body is magnitude of velocity. So if velocity is only changing direction then speed is constant.
But if speed is changing then velocity have to be varying.
When a body starts moving the incident when $t=0$ then it have zero velocity but some acceleration is there.
Object moving with constant velocity has zero acceleration but non zero speed.

Our alternatives are given to each of the following incomplete statements / questions, choose the right answer.
Uniform circular motion is called continuously accelerated motion mainly because
  • Direction of motion changes
  • B
    Speed remains the same
  • C
    Velocity remains the same
  • D
    Direction of motion does not change
Answer
Correct option: A.
Direction of motion changes
Uniform circular motion is accelerated because the velocity changes due to continuous change in the direction of motion.
Thus, for a body moving in a circular path at a constant speed, its velocity changes continuously.
The change in velocity gives rise to an acceleration in the moving body.

Name a physical quantity that remains constant in a uniform circular motion:
  • A
    Velocity
  • B
    Acceleration
  • C
    Momentum
  • Angular speed
Answer
Correct option: D.
Angular speed
As an object moves around in a circle at constant speed $($uniform circular motion$),$ both the velocity and the acceleration change.
The magnitudes of the velocity and acceleration don't change, but since velocity and acceleration are vectors, the fact that their directions change means that they change.
Momentum is directly proportional to the velocity of the body and hence it changes.
In the uniform circular motion, the angular speed is same for all the particles,

A body moving in a circle of radius r, covers $\frac{3}{4}\text{th}$ of the circle. The ratio of the distance to displacement is:
  • A
    $\frac{2\sqrt{2}}{3\pi}$
  • B
    $\frac{3}{2\sqrt{2}}$
  • C
    $\frac{3\sqrt{2}}{2\pi}$
  • $\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$
Answer
Correct option: D.
$\frac{3\pi}{2\sqrt{2}}$

Let Partical start from A. then after covering $\frac{3}{4}$ of circle it would be at B.
So, Distence covred.
$1\text{ circle}=2\pi\text{r}\text{ units}.$
$\frac{3}{4}\text{ circle}=\frac{3}{4}\times2\pi\text{r}=\frac{3\pi\text{r}}{2}\text{units}$
Displacement:
Here, displacement will be line joining A to B.
So, by pythagoras theorem.
$\text{AB}=\sqrt{\text{r}^2+\text{r}^2}$
$=\text{r}\sqrt{2}$
So, Ratio of distance and displace will be
$\frac{3\pi\text{r}}{2}\times\frac{1}{\text{r}\sqrt{2}}=3\times\frac{22}{7}\times\frac{1}{2}\times\frac{1}{\sqrt{2}}=\frac{33}{7\sqrt{2}}$
So, ratio will be $3\pi:2\sqrt{2}$
