1. An object has moved through a distance. Can
it have zero displacement? If yes, support your answer with an example.
Answer
Yes,an object can have zero displacement even when it has moved through a distance.This happens when final position of the object coincides with its initial position. For example,if a person moves around park and stands on place from where he started then here displacement will be zero.
2. A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds from his initial position?
Answer
Answer
Yes,an object can have zero displacement even when it has moved through a distance.This happens when final position of the object coincides with its initial position. For example,if a person moves around park and stands on place from where he started then here displacement will be zero.
2. A farmer moves along the boundary of a square field of side 10 m in 40 s. What will be the magnitude of displacement of the farmer at the end of 2 minutes 20 seconds from his initial position?
Answer
Given, Side of the square field= 10m
Therefore, perimeter = 10 m x 4 = 40 m
Farmer moves along the boundary in 40s.
Displacement after 2 m 20 s = 2 x 60 s + 20 s = 140 s =?
Since in 40 s farmer moves 40 m
Therefore, in 1s
distance covered by farmer = 40 / 40 m = 1m
Therefore, in 140s
distance covered by farmer = 1 × 140 m = 140 mNow, number of rotation to cover
140 along the boundary= Total Distance / Perimeter
= 140 m / 40 m = 3.5 round
Thus, after 3.5 round farmer will at point C of the field.
= 140 m / 40 m = 3.5 round
Thus, after 3.5 round farmer will at point C of the field.
Thus, after 2 min 20 seconds the displacement of farmer
will be equal to 14.14 m north east from intial position.

1. An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 s?
Answer
Diameter of circular track (D) = 200 m
Radius of circular track (r) = 200 / 2=100 m
Time taken by the athlete for one round (t) = 40 s
Distance covered by athlete in one round (s) = 2π r
= 2 x ( 22 / 7 ) x 100
Speed of the athlete (v) = Distance / Time
= (2 x 2200) / (7 x 40)
= 4400 / 7 × 40
Therefore, Distance covered in 140 s = Speed (s) × Time(t)
= 4400 / (7 x 40) x (2 x 60 + 20)
= 4400 / ( 7 x 40) x 140
= 4400 x 140 /7 x 40
= 2200 m
Number of round in 40 s =1 round
Number of round in 140 s =140/40
=3 1/2
After taking start from position X,the athlete will be at postion Y after 3 1/2 rounds as shown in figure
Hence, Displacement
of the athlete with respect to initial position at x= xy
= Diameter of circular
track
= 200 m

2. Joseph jogs from one end A to the other end B of a straight 300 m road in 2 minutes 30 seconds and then turns around and jogs 100 m back to point C in another 1 minute. What are Joseph's average speeds and velocities in jogging (a) from A to B and (b) from A to C?
Answer
Total Distance covered from AB = 300 m
Total time taken = 2 x 60 + 30 s
=150 s
Therefore, Average
Speed from AB = Total Distance / Total Time
=300 / 150 m s-1
=2 m s-1
Therefore, Velocity from AB =Displacement AB / Time = 300 / 150 m s-1
=2 m s-1
Total Distance covered from AC =AB + BC
=300 + 200 m
=300 / 150 m s-1
=2 m s-1
Therefore, Velocity from AB =Displacement AB / Time = 300 / 150 m s-1
=2 m s-1
Total Distance covered from AC =AB + BC
=300 + 200 m
Total time taken from A to C = Time taken for AB + Time taken for BC
= (2 x 60+30)+60 s
= 210 s
Therefore, Average Speed from AC = Total Distance /Total Time
= 400 /210 m s-1
= 1.904 m s-1
Displacement (S) from A to C = AB - BC
= 300-100 m
= 200 m
Time (t) taken for
displacement from AC = 210 s
Therefore, Velocity from AC = Displacement (s) / Time(t)
= 200 / 210 m s-1
= 0.952 m s-1
3. Abdul, while driving to school, computes the average speed for his trip to be 20 km h−1. On his return trip along the same route, there is less traffic and the average speed is 40 km h−1. What is the average speed for Abdul’s trip?
Answer
The distance Abdul commutes while driving from Home to School = S
Let us assume time taken by Abdul to commutes this distance = t1
Distance Abdul commutes while driving from School to Home = S
Let us assume time taken by Abdul to commutes this distance = t2
Average speed from home to school v1av = 20 km h-1
Average speed from school to home v2av = 30 km h-1
Also we know Time taken form Home to School t1 =S / v1av
Similarly Time taken form School to Home t2 =S/v2av
Total distance from home to school and backward = 2 S
Total time taken from home to school and backward (T) = S/20+ S/30
Therefore, Average speed (Vav) for covering total distance (2S) = Total Distance/Total Time
= 2S / (S/20 +S/30)
= 2S / [(30S+20S)/600]
= 1200S / 50S
= 24 kmh-1
4. A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant rate of 3.0 m s−2for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?
Answer
Given Initial velocity of motorboat, u = 0
Acceleration of motorboat, a = 3.0 m s-2
Time under consideration, t = 8.0 s
We know that Distance, s = ut + (1/2)at2
Therefore, The distance travel by motorboat = 0 x 8 + (1/2)3.0 x 8 2
= (1/2) x 3 x 8 x 8 m
= 96 m
5. A driver of a car travelling at 52 km h−1 applies the brakes and accelerates uniformly in the opposite direction. The car stops in 5 s. Another driver going at 3 km h−1 in another car applies his brakes slowly and stops in 10 s. On the same graph paper, plot the speed versus time graphs for the two cars. Which of the two cars travelled farther after the brakes were applied?
Answer
As given in the figure below PR and SQ are the Speed-time graph for given two cars with initial speeds 52 kmh-1 and 3 kmh-1 respectively.
Distance
Travelled by first car before coming to rest =Area of △ OPR
= (1/2) x OR x OP
= (1/2) x 5 s x 52 kmh-1
= (1/2) x 5 x (52 x 1000) / 3600) m
= (1/2) x 5x (130 / 9) m
= 325 / 9 m
= 36.11 m
Distance Travelled by second car before coming to rest =Area of △ OSQ
= (1/2) x OQ x OS
= (1/2) x 10 s x 3 kmh-1
= (1/2) x 10 x (3 x 1000) / 3600) m
= (1/2) x 10 x (5/6) m
= 5 x (5/6) m
= 25/6 m
= 4.16 m
= (1/2) x OR x OP
= (1/2) x 5 s x 52 kmh-1
= (1/2) x 5 x (52 x 1000) / 3600) m
= (1/2) x 5x (130 / 9) m
= 325 / 9 m
= 36.11 m
Distance Travelled by second car before coming to rest =Area of △ OSQ
= (1/2) x OQ x OS
= (1/2) x 10 s x 3 kmh-1
= (1/2) x 10 x (3 x 1000) / 3600) m
= (1/2) x 10 x (5/6) m
= 5 x (5/6) m
= 25/6 m
= 4.16 m
6. Fig 8.11
shows the distance-time graph of three objects A, B and C. Study the graph and
answer the following questions:
(a) Which of
the three is travelling the fastest?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(b) Are all three ever at the same point on the road?
(c) How far has C travelled
when B passes A?
(d)How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?
(d)How far has B travelled by the time it passes C?
Answer
(a) Object B
(b) No
(c) 5.714 km
(d) 5.143 km
Therefore, Speed = slope of the graph
Since slope of object B is greater than objects A and C, it is travelling the fastest.
(b) All three objects A, B and C never meet at a single point. Thus, they were never at the same point on road.
On the distance axis:
7 small boxes = 4 km
Therefore,1 small box = 4 / 7 Km
Initially, object C is 4 blocks away from the origin.
Therefore, Initial distance of object C from origin = 16 / 7 Km
Distance of object C from origin when B passes A = 8 km
Distance covered by C

7. A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases uniformly at the rate of 10 m s−2, with what velocity will it strike the ground? After what time will it strike the ground?
Answer
Let us assume, the final velocity with which ball will strike the ground be 'v' and time it takes to strike the ground be 't'
Initial Velocity of ball, u =0
Distance or height of fall, s =20 m
Downward acceleration, a =10 m s-2
As we know, 2as =v2-u2
v2 = 2as+ u2
= 2 x 10 x 20 + 0
= 400
∴ Final velocity of ball, v = 20 ms-1
t = (v-u)/a
∴Time taken by the ball to strike = (20-0)/10
= 20/10
= 2 seconds
