Question 12 Marks
How does a rotatory motion differ from the circular motion?
Answer
(1) In rotatory motion, the axis of rotation passes from a point in the body itself whereas, in circular motion, the axis of revolution passes through a point outside the body. Thus the motion of earth around the sun is the circular motion whereas the motion of earth about its own axis is the rotational motion.
(2) In the circular and rotatory motions, the distance of a point of the body from a fixed point always remains same, whereas it is not the same in curvilinear motion.

Question 22 Marks
What do you mean by translatory motion ? Give one example.
Answer
If an object like a vehicle, moves in a line in such a way that every point of the object moves through the same distance in the same time, then the motion of the object is called translatory motion.
Example:
The motion of an apple falling from a tree, the motion of a man walking on a road, the motion of a box when pushed from one comer of a room to the other, are all the translatory motion.

Question 32 Marks
Comment on the statement ‘rest and motion are relative terms’. Give an example.
Answer
Imagine you are sitting inside a moving bus. When you look outside you will observe that you are moving. Now look to the roof of the bus. With respect to the roof of bus, you are at rest. Hence it is concluded that rest and motion are relative terms.

Question 42 Marks
The weight of a body of mass 6.0 kg on moon is 10 N. If a boy of mass 30 kg goes from earth to the moon surface, what will be his (a) mass, (b) weight ?
Answer
(a) Mass remains same it does not change
So mass of boy $30 kg$ on earth $=30 kg$ on moon surface
(b) Weight of boy on moon becomes $\frac{1}{6}$
$\therefore 30 kg$ boy will weight $30 \times \frac{1}{6}=5 kg$
$1 kg =10 N \Rightarrow 5 \times 10 N =50 N$
$\therefore$ Weight of boy on moon surface $=50 N$

Question 52 Marks
On earth the weight of a body of mass 1.0 kg is 10 N. What will be the weight of a boy of mass 37 kg in (a) kgf (b) N ?
Answer
Weight of a body of mass 1.0 kg body = 10 N
(a) Weight of a boy of mass = 37 kg
(b) Weight of a boy of 37 kg in newton will be 1 kgf = 10N
∴ 37 kgf = 37 × 10 N
= 370 N

Question 62 Marks
A boy travels with an average speed of $10\ m\ s^{-1}$ for $20$ min. How much distance does he travel?
Answer
Average speed of boy $= 10\ m \ s^{-1}$
Time taken $= 20$ min
Distance travelled $=$ Speed $\times$ Time taken
Convert minutes into seconds
$1$ minute $= 60 \ sec.$
$20$ minutes $= 20 \times 60 = 1200\ sec$.
Distance travelled $= 10\ m \ s^{-1} \times 1200\ sec$.
$= 12000\ m$ Or $12 \ km$

Question 72 Marks
A train travels a distance of $300 \ km$ with an average speed of $60 \ km h_1.$ How much time does it take to cover the distance?
Answer
Speed $=60 \ kmh ^{-1}$
Distance covered $=300 \ km$
$\therefore$ Speed $=\frac{\text { Distance covered }}{\text { Time taken }}$
$\therefore$ Time taken $=\frac{\text { Distance covered }}{\text { speed }}$
$=\frac{300 \ km }{60 \ km h ^{-1}}$
$=5 h$

Question 82 Marks
A car covers a distance of $160\ km$ between two cities in $4\  h$. What is the average speed of the car ?
Answer
Distance $=160 \ km$
Time taken $= 4h$
Speed $= ?$
Speed $=$ Distance covered / Time taken
$= 160\ km / 4h = 40 \ km\  h^{-1}$
