9 Ans. Multiple motion: Sometimes an object possesses two or more types of motion at the same time. Such motion is called multiple motion.

A motion in which the body as a whole moves to-and-fro about its mean position is called oscillatory motion. Examples The motion of a swing. The motion of pendulum of a clock. 2. What is translatory motion? Name two kinds of translatory motion. Ans. If an object moves in a line in such a way that every point on the object moves through the same distance in the same interval of time the motion of the object is called translatory motion. Examples A ball rolling on the ground. A stone falling freely from the roof of a building. 3. Give an example to show that rest and motion are relative terms. Ans. Imagine you are travelling by a train. You are in motion in relation to a farmer standing in a field or trees on the platform because your position is changing with respect to them. However, if you compare your position with respect to the things inside the train, that is other passangers, walls, fans, etc. it is not changing. Therefore, in relation to these objects you are at rest, thus, an object can be in motion in relation to one set of objects while it is at rest in relation to another set of objects. We can say that rest and motion are relative terms. It

10 is the observer and the surroundings that decide whether a given object is considered at rest or in motion. 4. What is a simple pendulum? What are the factors affecting the time period of a simple pendulum? Ans. Simple pendulum. A simple pendulum consists of a small metal ball (called bob) suspended by a long thread from a rigid support. Such that the bob is free to swing back and forth. The time period of a simple pendulum depends upon the following factors. 1. Length. The time period of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the square root of its length T 2. Aceleration due to gravity. The time period of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of the acceleration due to gravity at that place 1 T g 3. Mass of the bob. The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of the mass of the bob, that is, if we use bobs of different masses its time period does not change. 4. Nature of the material of the bob. The time period of a simple pendulum is independent of the nature of the material of the bob. 5. Classify the following into translatory, rotatory and oscillatory motions.

By giving at least two examples each, define the following terms. (a) Rectilinear motion (b) Curvilinear motion (c) Rotatory motion (d) Oscillatory motion (e) Vibratory motion (f) Periodic motion Ans. (a) Rectilinear motion. When an object moves along a straight line, its motion is called rectilinear motion. Examples A ball rolling on the ground A car moving on a straight road. (b) Curvilinear motion. If an object moves along a curved path its motion is called curvilinear motion. Examples A stone thrown by a boy A car moving along a curved path (c) Rotatory motion. A body is said to be in rotatory motion if it moves about a fixed axis without chaning its position. Examples The motion of the blades of a fan A giant wheel (d) Oscillatory motion. A motion in which the body as a whole moves to-and-fro about its mean position is called oscilltory motion. Examples The motion of a swing The pendulum of a clock (e) Vibratory motion. The motion in which a certain part or parts of a body always remain fixed and do not move, while rest of the body moves to-and-fro in a definite style is called vibratory motion. Examples A string of a guitar or a sitar when plucked starts vibrating. During breathing, our chest expands and contracts this motion is vibratory in nature. (f) Periodic motion. A motion which repeats itself at regular intervals 11

12 of time is called periodic motion. Examples The motion of the earth around the sun The needle of a sewing machine 7. Define : (i) rest, (ii) motion. Ans. (i) Rest A body is said to be at rest, if it does not change its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings. For example a book lying on a table. (ii) Motion A body is said to be in motion, if it changes its position with respect to a fixed point in its surroundings. For examples, a man walking on the road. 8. Define : (a) speed, (b) velocity. Bring out clearly the difference between speed and velocity. Ans. (a) Speed The distance travelled by a moving body per unit time is called its speed. (b) Velocity The distance travelled by a body per unit time in a given direction is called its velocity. Speed is a scalar quantity whereas velocity is a vector quantity. 9. (a) Define : (i) acceleration, (ii) acceleration due to gravity. Ans. (i) Acceleration The rate of change of velocity of a body is called its accleration. change in velocity acceleration = time taken The SI unit of acceleration is meter per second square (m/s 2 ) (ii) Acceleration due to gravity The acceleration with which a body falls freely towards the earth is called acceleration due to gravity. It is denoted by the symbol g. The numerical value of acceleration due to gravity is 9.8 m/s 2. This value changes from place to place and at the same place it changes with altitude. 10. What do you understand by the terms (a) uniform velocity, (b) variable velocity? Give one example of each. Ans. (a) Uniform velocity When a body covers equal distances in equal interval of time in a specified direction the body is said to be 12

13 moving with a uniform velocity. Example Imagine a car is moving along a straight road towards east, such that in every one second it covers a distance of 5 m. In such a case, the uniform velocity of car is 5 m/s east. (b) Variable velocity When a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction or equal distances in equal intervals of time, but its direction changes, then the body is said to be moving with a variable velocity. Example Consider a body starting from point A and reaches B, C and D straight towards east in the time intervals of 1 second each. Let the distances covered be 3m, 4m and 2m respectively. As the body is covering unequal distances in equal intervals of time in a specified direction, therefore, the body is moving with variable velocity. 11. Prove : v = u + at, where u is the initial velocity, v is the final velocity, a is the acceleration and t is the time. Ans. Let us consider a body having an initial velocity u. After time t, the body moves with a velocity v. From the definition of acceleration, we get change in velocity Acceeleration = time taken final velocity initial velocity = time taken v u a = t at = v u or, v = u + at 12. Define the following with reference to simple pendulum: 13

14 (a) pendulum (b) mean position (c) oscillation (d) time period (e) amplitude Ans. (a) Pendulum A small metallic bob (brass or any other material) tied to a light, cotton thread and suspended from a rigid point, such that it is free to oscillate about its mean position is called a pendulum or simple pendulum. (b) Mean position When a freely suspended pendulum is at rest then this position is called mean position or rest position. (c) Oscillation The complete to and fro motion of a freely oscillating pendulum about its mean position is called oscillation. (d) Time period The time taken by a freely oscillating pendulum to complete one oscillation is called time period. Its SI unit is second. (e) Amplitude The maximum displacement of a pendulum from its mean position is called amplitude. 13. What is a second s pendulum? What is the length of second s pendulum. Ans. A simple pendulum whose time period is 2 second is called second s pendulum. The length of a second s pendulum at a place where g = 9.8 m/s 2 is 99.2 cm. A second s pendulum is independent of amplitude. Its frequency n = ½ Hz 14. The length of second s pendulum is shortened by 20 cm. How this change in length will affect the time period of the pendulum? Ans. The time period of a freely oscillating pendulum is given by the expression T = 2 l g Where T is the time period in seconds, l the length of the pendulum and g the acceleration due to gravity at a given place. From the above expression it is clear that T l i.e. as the length of a pendulum increases, so will increase its time period and vice versa. Therefore, if the length of second s pendulum is shortened by 20 14

15 cm its time period will also shortened. 15. What is meant by the term retardation? Name its SI unit. Ans. If the velocity of a body is decreasing with respect to time, the acceleration is said to be negative. This negative acceleration is called retardation. The SI unit of retardation is meter/second 2 (m/s 2 ). X. Practice for numerical problems. 1. Calculate the speed of a car moving a distance of 150 km in 3 hours. Ans.
