Question 53 Marks
A train is moving at a speed of $90 km/h$. On applying brakes, a retardation of $2.5 ms^{-2}$​​​​​​​ is created. At what distance before, should the driver apply the brakes to stop the train at the station?
Answer
Initial speed of train $= 90 km/hr$
Speed of train imn m/s $= ( 90 \times 1000 )/3600 = 25 m/s.$
Retardation of the train $= 2.5 ms^{-2}.$
Final speed of train at platform = 0 m/s.
We know that $v2 - u2 = 2as.$
$0 - 25 \times 25 = 2 \times (-2.5) \times s$
$S = 625/5 = 125 m.$
So driver should apply the brakes $125 m$ before the platform.

Question 153 Marks
A car travels 30 km at a uniform speed of 60 km/h and the next 30 km at a uniform speed of 20 km/h. What is its average speed?
Answer
Car travls 30 km distance with speed 60 km/hr
Time taken by car to travel this distance = 30/60 = 0.5 hr.
Car travels another distance of 30 km with speed of 20 km/hr.
Time taken by car to travel this distance = 30/20 = 1.5 hr.
Total time taken = 1.5 + 0.5 = 2 hr.
Total distance = 30+ 30 = 60 km.
Average speed of car = 60/2 = 30 km/hr.

Question 163 Marks
A body covers half the distance with the speed A and the other half with speed B. What will be the average speed for the whole journey?
Answer
Let total distance be S .
Boy covers distance $S / 2$ with speed $A$ then time taken by him to cover this distance would be $T_1=S / 2 A$.
Again boy covers rest of the distance $S / 2$ with speed $B$ then time taken by him to cover this distance would be $T_2$ $= S / 2 B$.
So total time taken by boy to cover the distance $S$ is $T=T_1+T_2$.
Total time $T=S / 2(1 / A+1 / B)=s(A+B) / 2 A B$.
And average speed $=S / T=2 A B /(A+B)$.

An artificial satellite is moving in a circular orbit of radius nearly 42,250 km. Calculate its linear velocity, if it takes 24 hours to revolve round the earth
Answer
Radius of orbit is 42250 km.
Distance covered by satellite to complete 1 revolution is 2 πr.
So distance is = 2 X 3.14 X42250 =265330 km.
time taken by satellite to complete one revolution is 24 hr = 24X60X60=86400 sec.
so linear velocity is= distance /time= 265330/86400 ms-1 = 3.07 km s-1.

Question 223 Marks
A girl had designed a clap switch for a science exhibition that enabled her to switch on or off an alarm just with clapping of hands. While testing her device in a hall, she noticed that once the alarm has sounded it followed with another one due to echo of the clap, that is, the sound reflected by the walls. She recorded the two soundings of alarm with her tape recorder and found out that time difference in between them is $0.1 \ s$. If the distance of the walls be $15 \ m$, calculate the speed of sound.
Answer
Time difference of $0.1 \ s$ denotes the time taken by sound to go from device to wall and back to wall. As the distance between wall and device is 15 m so total distance covered by sound is $2 \times 15 m =30 m.$
So speed of sound is = total distance covered/time taken $= 30/0.1 =300 ms^{-1}.$
So speed of sound is $300 ms^{-1}.$

Question 233 Marks
The average time taken by a normal person to react to an emergency is one fifteenth of a second and is called the 'reaction time'. If a bus is moving with a velocity of $60 km / h$ and its driver sees a child running across the road, how much distance would the bus had moved before he could press the brakes? The reaction time of the people increases when they are intoxicated. How much distance had the bus moved if the reaction time of the driver were $1 / 2 s$ under the influence of alcohol?
Answer
Bus is moving with initial velocity of $u=60 km / hr$.
$60 km / hr=(60 \times 1000) / 3600=u=16.66 ms^{-1}$
Reaction time $= t =1 / 15 sec$.
Distance would the bus had moved before pressing the bus would be $= uXt$.
$S=16.66 \times 1 / 15=1.1 m$
Now if the driver is intoxiacated then reaction time would be $t=1 / 2$ seconds.
$\text { So } S \text { becomes } S=uXt=16.66 \times 1 / 2=8.33 m$

Question 433 Marks
How does the slope of a speed-time graph give the acceleration of a body moving along a straight line?
Answer
Slope of a graph is given as rate of change of y coordinates to the x coordinate. In speed time graph speed is on the y axis and time is on the x axis. And we define acceleration as rate of change of speed with respect to time. So slope of a speed time graph gives acceleration.

Question 443 Marks
Find the initial velocity of a car which is stopped in 10 seconds by applying brakes. Retardation due to brakes is$ 2.5 ms^{-2}.$
Answer
Let initial velocity be $u$.
Final velocity is $v =0 m / s$.
Time taken by body to come to rest $=10 sec$.
Retardation $=2.5 ms^{-2}$.
We know $v = u + at$.
Then $u = v$ - at.
$u=0-(-2.5 \times 10)=25 m / s$
So initial velocity of the body is $25 m / s$.

Question 453 Marks
A car traveling at $60 \ km/h$, stops on applying brakes in $10$ seconds. What is its acceleration?
Answer
First convert $60 km / h$ in $m / s$.
$60 km / hr=(60 \times 1000) / 3600=16.7 m / s .$
This is initial velocity of car i.e $u=16.7 m / s$.
As car stops in 10 seconds so final velocity is $=0 m / s$.
So acceleration $=( v - u ) / t =(0-16.7) / 10=-1.67 ms^{-2}$.
Acceleration of car is $=-1.67 ms^{-2}$.

Question 473 Marks
The acceleration of a moving body is constant in magnitude and direction. Must the path of the body be a straight line?
If not, given an example.
Answer
If the acceleration of a moving body is constant in magnitude and direction then the path of the body must not be a straight line because in circular motion also acceleration of a body is constant in magnitude and always directed towards the centre.
So the path of the body may be a straight line and may be a circular one.

Question 483 Marks
A car travels from $P$ to $Q$ at a uniform speed of $20 ms^{-1}$ and immediately turns back and travels towards $Q$ with a uniform speed of $30 ms^{-1}$. What is the average speed for the whole journey?
Answer
let distance between P and Q is S .
Speed of car while travelling from $P$ to $Q$ is $20 m / s$.
Let car take time $T_1$ to travel from $P$ to $Q$ then $T_1=S / 20$.
Speed of car while travelling from $Q$ to $P$ is $30 m / s$.
Let car take time $T_2$ to travel from Q to P then $T _2= S / 30$.
Total time $= T _1+ T _2= S / 20+ S / 30= S / 12$.
So average speed of journey $=$ total distance $/$ total time $=2 S /( S / 12)=24 m / s$.
Average speed of journey is $24 m / s$.

Question 493 Marks
A body goes from $P$ to $Q$ with a uniform speed of u and immediately returns back to $P$ at a uniform speed of v. What is the average speed for the whole journey?
Answer
Let S be the distance between $P$ and $Q.$
Body covers forward journey distance S ($P$ to $Q$) with speed u then time taken by him to cover this distance would be $T_1 =S/u.$
Again body covers backward journey distance S ($Q$ to $P$) with speed v then time taken by him to cover this distance would be $T_2 =S/v.$
So total time taken by body to cover the distance S is $T = T_1 + T_2.$
Total time $T= S (1/u +1/v) = s(u+v)/uv.$
And average speed =$ 2S/T = 2uv/(u+v).$

Question 503 Marks
Arrange the following speeds in the increasing order:
(i) A bicycle moving with a speed of 36 km/h.
(ii) A car moving with a speed of 2 km/min.
(iii) An athlete running with a speed of 7 m/s.
Answer
We convert all the speeds in m/s to compare them.
36 km/hr = (36 X 1000)/3600 = 10m/s.
2 km/min = (2 X 1000)/60 = 33.3 m/s.
7 m/s = 7 m/s.
So increasing order of speed is 7m/s < 10m/s <33m/s.
