A car moves with a speed of 40km/h for $15$ minutes and then with a speed of 60km/h for the next $15$ minutes. The total distance covered by the car is:
  • A
    $100\ km.$
  • $25\ km.$
  • C
    $15\ km.$
  • D
    $10\ km.$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$25\ km.$

Case I
Speed of the car $= 40 km/h$
Time taken $= 15$ min $=\frac{15}{60}=0.25\text{h}$
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}$
Distance covered, d1 = Speed $\times $ Time taken $= 40 \times 0.25 = 10km$
Case II
Speed of the car = 60km/h
Time taken $= 15$ min $=\frac{15}{60}=0.25\text{h}$
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance covered}}{\text{Time taken}}$
Distance covered, d2 = Speed \times Time taken $= 60 \times 0.25 = 15km$
Total distance covered by the car, $d = d1 + d2 = 10 + 15 = 25km$
Therefore, the total distance covered by the car is 25km.

Measurement of time can be done with the help of a:
  • A
    Meter scale
  • B
    Pulley
  • Simple pendulum
  • D
    Speedometer
Answer
Correct option: C.
Simple pendulum
A pendulum is a weight suspended from a pivot so that it can swing freely.
When a pendulum is displaced sideways from its resting, equilibrium position, it is subject to a restoring force due to gravity that will accelerate it back toward the equilibrium position.
When released, the restoring force combined with the pendulum's mass causes it to oscillate about the equilibrium position, swinging back and forth.
The time for one complete cycle, a left swing and a right swing, is called the period.
The period depends on the length of the pendulum .
This time period when known can be used to measure time.

MCQ 1221 Mark
The distance travelled by $5$ identical particles is given below in the options $A, B, C, D$ and $E$ respectively at specific time interval. Which object is moving with a constant velocity?
  • A
    $1m, 4m, 9m, 16m, 25m$
  • B
    $2m, 2m, 4m 4m, 6m$
  • $2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m$
  • D
    $6m, 11m, 15m, 18m, 20m$
Answer
Correct option: C.
$2m, 4m, 6m, 8m, 10m$

If the particle moves with constant velocity,
$\text{Velocity v}=\frac{\triangle\text{x}}{\triangle\text{t}}=\text{constant}$
Thus for equal time intervals, the distance traveled must be equal.
The distance traveled by object in option $C$ remains the same for each interval and is equal to $\triangle\text{x}=4\text{m}-2\text{m}=2\text{m}.$

MCQ 1231 Mark
Which of the following is$/$ are correct regarding uniform and non $-$ uniform motion?
  • A
    For the body to be in the uniform motion, it must be moving in the straight line path
  • B
    The slope of displacement$-$time graph for uniform motion is constant and gives constant velocity
  • C
    A car coming to a halt is an example of non$-$uniform motion
  • All of the above
Answer
Correct option: D.
All of the above
Two sentences are correct regarding uniform motion:
$i.$ The body must be moving in a straight line path.
$ii.$ The slope of displacement time graph for uniform motion is constant and gives constant velocity.
In other words, the velocity should be constant, $i.e.$
its direction and magnitude should be constant.
A car coming to half is an example of non $-$ uniform motion as its speed changes with time, the sentence is correct regarding non$-$uniform motion.
