 | Kamakshi Singh answered |
Calculation of Average Velocity
To calculate the average velocity of a car that moved 60 km in 3 hours, we need to use the formula:
Average Velocity = Total Distance/Total Time
Substituting the given values in the formula, we get:
Average Velocity = 60 km/3 hours
Simplifying this expression, we get:
Average Velocity = 20 km/h
Therefore, the average velocity of the car is 20 km/h.
Explanation
The average velocity of an object is the total distance covered by the object divided by the total time taken to cover that distance. In this case, the car covered a distance of 60 km in a time of 3 hours. Dividing the total distance by the total time gives us the average velocity of the car, which is 20 km/h.
Conclusion
The average velocity of a car that moved 60 km in 3 hours is 20 km/h. It is important to remember that velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. In this case, since no direction is given, we assume that the car travelled in a straight line.

SI unit for speed
The SI unit for speed is meter per second (m/s).
Explanation
Speed is defined as the distance traveled by an object in a given time. It is a scalar quantity and is measured in units of distance per time. The SI unit of distance is meter (m) and the SI unit of time is second (s). Therefore, the SI unit of speed is meter per second (m/s).
For example, if a car travels a distance of 100 meters in 10 seconds, its speed can be calculated as:
Speed = Distance/Time
= 100 meters/10 seconds
= 10 meters per second (m/s)
Therefore, the speed of the car is 10 m/s.
Conclusion
In conclusion, the SI unit for speed is meter per second (m/s). It is important to use the correct units when measuring speed to ensure consistency and accuracy in calculations.

Conversion of km/h to m/s
To convert km/h to m/s, we need to use the following conversion factor:
1 km/h = 1000 m/3600 s = 5/18 m/s
So, to convert 1 km/h to m/s, we simply multiply it by 5/18.
Solution
Given, 1 km/h = ?
We need to convert it to m/s.
1 km/h × 5/18 = 5/18 m/s
Therefore, the correct option is (d) 5/18.

 | Pooja Shah answered |
Velocity is a vector quantity, which means it has both magnitude and direction. To correctly measure and describe velocity, you need both these components.
Here’s the analysis of the provided options:
- 30 s: This is a measure of time, not velocity.
- 30 m/s: This is a measure of speed, not velocity, because it does not include a direction.
- 30 South: This describes a direction but lacks the magnitude (speed), so it is not a complete measure of velocity.
- 30 m/s, South: This provides both magnitude (30 m/s) and direction (South), making it a complete measure of velocity.
So, the correct measure of velocity is:
4. 30 m/s, South

 | Trisha Vashisht answered |
Area under the speed-time graph gives the distance:
- When calculating the area under a speed-time graph, you are essentially finding the total distance traveled by an object over a certain period of time.
- This is because the area under a speed-time graph represents the total distance covered by an object as it moves at varying speeds.
- By finding the area under the curve on a speed-time graph, you can determine the total distance traveled by the object during that time interval.

Taking the formula when both bodies are moving along opposite direction we have :
V(AB) = V(A) - V(B) = 40 - (-10 ) = 50 km/hr
Hence the velocity of car A with respect to car B is 50 km/hr in opposite direction.

C:

D:

 | Sarita Reddy answered |
Given :
u = 36 km/h = 36x (5/18) = 10 m/s
Time of reaction, t = 0.9 s
decelration, a = -5 m/s^2
v = 0 m/s
Let s1 be the distance covered by man when the object is seen by him
we have, u = s1/t
because s1 = u x t
= 10 x 0.9
= 9 m
when he applies brakes and decelerates at the rate of 5 m/s^2, the distance covered by him is s2
We have, v^2 = u^2 + 2as2
therefore 0 = u^2 - 2as2 ( therefore v=0 m/s)
therefore s2 = u^2/2a = 10^2/ (2 x 5)
therefore s2 =10 m
So, total distance covered s = s1 + s2 = 9 +10 =19 m
Hence 19 m distance covered by man before he stops.

 | Ishaan Chauhan answered |
Explanation:
Derivation:
Conclusion:
When an object is in motion, its velocity changes with time. The velocity-time graph shows the variation of velocity with time. The area enclosed by the velocity-time graph and the time axis represents the distance travelled by the object in a given time interval.
Derivation:
Let's consider an object moving with a variable velocity v(t) in a straight line. The velocity of the object at any instant t is given by:
v(t) = ds/dt
where s is the displacement of the object at time t. Integrating both sides, we get:
s = ∫v(t) dt
The integral of velocity with respect to time gives the displacement of the object. The area under the velocity-time graph represents the area of the region bounded by the graph, the time axis and the two vertical lines drawn at the beginning and end of the time interval.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the area enclosed by the velocity-time graph and the time axis represents the displacement of the object. Hence, option 'A' is the correct answer.

For a body moving at uniform speed, the distance time graph is a straight line inclined to the time axis, which may pass through origin or some other point on the y- axis.
As in uniform motion, the distance time graph would be a straight line, because the equal distance is covered in equal units of time.

- Acceleration is the measure of how fast the velocity changes.
- Velocity is a vector quantity and a change in velocity is due to change in magnitude or change in direction or both.
- Here, the boy is moving with constant speed but velocity changes and hence is supposed to be in accelerated motion.

 | EduRev Class 9 answered |
Vector Quantity
- Direction: A vector quantity has a specific direction in space. This means that not only does it have a magnitude, but it also has a specific orientation or direction in which it is pointing.
- Magnitude: In addition to having a direction, a vector quantity also has a magnitude. This magnitude represents the size or strength of the vector, indicating how much of the quantity is present.
- Both Magnitude and Direction: Therefore, a vector quantity possesses both magnitude and direction, distinguishing it from scalar quantities which only have magnitude. This dual nature of vectors allows for a more detailed description of physical quantities.

Initial velocity, u = 0.2 m/s.
Final velocity, v = 0
Acceleration, a = 0.02 m/s^2.
v = u + at
0 = 0.2 - 0.02 x t
0.02 x t = 0.2
t = 0.2/0.02 = 10 sec.
Thus, the body will take 10 seconds to stop.

Explanation:
When a body performs an accelerated motion with uniform speed, its motion is circular. The reason behind it can be explained in the following points:
Uniform Speed:
Uniform speed means the body is moving with a constant speed. It means that the magnitude of the velocity of the body is constant. The direction of the velocity vector can be changed, but the magnitude of the velocity remains constant.
Accelerated Motion:
Accelerated motion means the velocity of the body is changing with time. It means that the magnitude of the acceleration of the body is not zero. The direction of the acceleration vector can be changed, but the magnitude of the acceleration is not zero.
Circular Motion:
Circular motion is a kind of motion in which a body moves in a circular path. In circular motion, the direction of the velocity vector changes continuously, but the magnitude of the velocity remains constant. The direction of the acceleration vector also changes continuously, but the magnitude of the acceleration is not zero.
Conclusion:
When a body performs an accelerated motion with uniform speed, its motion is circular. In this case, the magnitude of the velocity of the body remains constant, but the direction of the velocity vector changes continuously. The magnitude of the acceleration of the body is not zero, and the direction of the acceleration vector also changes continuously. Hence, the motion of the body is circular.

The Relationship between Distance and Time
When an object moves, it covers a certain distance in a certain amount of time. The relationship between distance and time can be represented on a graph called a distance-time graph.
The Slope of a Distance-Time Graph
The slope of a distance-time graph represents the speed of the object. The slope is defined as the change in distance divided by the change in time. Mathematically, the slope can be written as:
Slope = Change in distance / Change in time
In other words, the slope of the graph gives us the rate at which the distance is changing with respect to time. This rate is the speed of the object.
Interpretation of the Slope
If the slope of the graph is steep, it means that the object is covering a large distance in a short amount of time. This indicates that the object is moving at a high speed.
If the slope of the graph is shallow, it means that the object is covering a small distance in a long amount of time. This indicates that the object is moving at a low speed.
Conclusion
Therefore, the correct answer to the given question is option 'A' - the slope of a distance versus time graph is speed. The slope of a distance-time graph gives us the speed of the object.

| | Imk Pathshala answered |
- Displacement is the straight line distance between the starting and ending points of an object's motion.
- In this scenario, the body starts at A, goes to B, and then returns to A. Even though the body travels a certain distance (twice the distance between A and B), it ends up back at its starting point (A).
- Since displacement considers the net change in position, and the body ends at the same point it started, the displacement is zero.
Topic in NCERT: Motion Along a Straight Line
Line in NCERT: "the final position coincides with the initial position, and therefore, the displacement is zero."

The correct option is B.
For a body moving at a uniform velocity you can calculate the speed by dividing the distance traveled by the amount of time it took, for example one mile in 1/2 hour would give you 2 miles per hour.
In order to find the velocity of the moving object, you will need to divide the change in position by the change in time. Specify the direction moved, and you have the average velocity.
Calculating acceleration involves dividing velocity by time — or in terms of SI units, dividing the meter per second [m/s] by the second [s]. Dividing distance by time twice is the same as dividing distance by the square of time. Thus the SI unit of acceleration is the meter per second squared
Average speed is calculated by dividing distance by time (e.g. miles/hour). Okay we're going to talk about average speed, instantaneous speed is the distance that you're covering at a specific time. So 100 kilometers an hour, average speed is the total distance you're going to cover over a period of time.

- a)19 m

| | Anita Menon answered |
Given :
u = 36 km/h = 36x (5/18) =10 m/s
Time of reaction, t = 0.9 s
decelration, a = -5 m/s^2
v = 0 m/s
Let sl be the distance covered by man when the object is seen by him
we have, u = s1/t
therefore s1 = u x t
= 10 x 0.9
= 9 m
when he applies brakes and decelerates at the rate of 5 m/s2, the distance covered by him is s2
We have, v^2 = u^2 + 2as2
therefore 0 = u^2 - 2as2 (because v=0 m/s)
therefore s2 = u^2/2a = 10^2/2 x 5
therefore s2 = 10 m
So, total distance covered s = s1+ s2 = 9 +10 =19 m
Hence 19 m distance covered by man before he stops.

 | Let's Tute answered |
- Displacement is the straightest shot (shortest distance) between start and end.
- Distance is the total path taken.
- Imagine going for a walk around a block - the displacement is the length of one side, while the distance is the entire walk.
- The numerical ratio of displacement to distance is calculated as displacement divided by distance.
- So the ratio:
- Can be 1 (straight path)
- Is less than 1 (curved path or going back and forth)
- Never more than 1
Therefore, the answer is D: equal to or less than 1.

Given :
u = 36 km/h = 36x (5/18) = 10 m/s
Time of reaction, t = 0.9 s
decelration, a = -5 m/s^2
v = 0 m/s
Let s1 be the distance covered by man when the object is seen by him
we have, u = s1/t
because s1 = u x t
= 10 x 0.9
= 9 m
when he applies brakes and decelerates at the rate of 5 m/s^2, the distance covered by him is s2
We have, v^2 = u^2 + 2as2
therefore 0 = u^2 - 2as2 ( therefore v=0 m/s)
therefore s2 = u^2/2a = 10^2/ (2 x 5)
therefore s2 =10 m
So, total distance covered s = s1 + s2 = 9 +10 =19 m
Hence 19 m distance covered by man before he stops.
