MCQ 41 Mark
A car moves with a speed of $40 \ km/h$ for $15$ minutes and then with a speed of $60 \ km/h$ 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.
$25 \ km$
$25 km$
Case I
Speed of the car $=40 km / h$
Time taken $=15 min =15 / 60=0.25 h$
Speed $=\frac{\text { Distance Covered }}{\text { Time Taken }}$
Distance covered, $d_1=$ Speed $\times$ Time taken $=40 \times 0.25=10 km$
Case II
Speed of the car $=60 km / h$
Time taken $=15 min =\frac{15}{60}=0.25 h$
Speed $=\frac{\text { Distnace covered }}{\text { Time Taken }}$
Distance covered, $d_2=$ Speed $\times$ Time taken $=60 \times 0.25=15 km$
Total distance covered by the car, $d=d_1+d_2=10+15=25 km$
Therefore, the total distance covered by the car is $25 km$.

A car travels first $60\ km$ of a distance in 1hr, next $70\ km$ of the distance in next hour and remaining $20\ km$ distance in final hour. Then, its motion is:
  • A
    Uniform motion.
  • Non - uniform motion.
  • C
    Either uniform or non - uniform motion.
  • D
    Neither uniform nor non-uniform motion.
Answer
Correct option: B.
Non - uniform motion.

During first hour, $\text{Speed}=\frac{60}{1}\text{km/ h}=60\text{km/ hr}$
During second hour, $\text{Speed}=\frac{70}{1}\text{km/ h}=70\text{km/ hr}$
During third hour, $\text{Speed}=\frac{20}{1}\text{km/ h}=20\text{km/ hr}$
So, the car travels different distances in equal time intervals.
This is an example of non - uniform motion.

When a graph between two physical quantities is a straight line, the two quantities are:
  • A
    Both constant
  • B
    Independent of each other
  • Directly proportional
  • D
    Inversely proportional
Answer
Correct option: C.
Directly proportional

As we know the equation of a straight line is $Y = mX + C$
Let us assume $X$ and $Y$ are two different physical quantity and $C$ is any constant.
and the graph between them is straight line.
According to above equation,
$\text{Y}\propto\text{X}$
Hence, $X$ and $Y$ are Directly proportional.

A boy cycles a distance of $640m$ in $2$ minutes and $40$ seconds. What is the speed of the cycle?
  • $4m/ s$
  • B
    $8m/ s$
  • C
    $12m/ s$
  • D
    $16m/ s$
Answer
Correct option: A.
$4m/ s$

Distance covered $= 640m$
Time taken $= 2\ min \ 40\ sec$
$= 2 × 60 + 40 = 160s$ (because $1$ minute $= 60$ seconds)
$\therefore\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}=\frac{640}{160}=4\text{m}/\text{s}$

Which of the following is/ are good example(s) of non - uniform motion?
  • A
    When an object is moving in a circular path with uniform speed
  • B
    A car is travelling in an overcrowded zigzag road
  • C
    Motion of a pendulum
  • Both $B$ and $C$
Answer
Correct option: D.
Both $B$ and $C$

An object covering equal distances in equal time interval, i.e.
moving with a uniform speed is said to be in a uniform motion.
An object moving in a circular path with uniform speed is said to be in a uniform circular motion.
Since, in a motion of a pendulum and in a car travelling in an overcrowded zig zag road, the speed of the object is changing and is not uniform, hence they are examples of non - uniform motion.

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.

When the distance covered by an object is directly proportional to the time interval, it is said to travel with:
  • Constant speed
  • B
    Zero velocity
  • C
    Constant acceleration
  • D
    Uniform velocity
Answer
Correct option: A.
Constant speed
When distance is proportional to time, the ratio of distance and time remains constant.
This means that in equal time intervals, the particle is travelling equal distances.

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.

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 $\triangle\text{x}=4\text{m}-2\text{m}=2\text{m}.$

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.

    $0.6\ m/ s$
  • $10\ m/ s$
  • C
    $5.4\ m/ s$
  • D
    $3.6\ m/ s$
Answer
Correct option: B.
$10\ m/ s$

Distance $= 54\ km$
$= 54 \times 1000\ m$
Distance $= 54000\ m$
Time $= 90$ minutes
$= 90 \times 60$
Time $= 5400s$
Therefore,
Distance $= 54000\ m$
Time $= 5400s$
$\text{Speed}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$
$\text{Speed}=\frac{54000}{5400}$
