All questions of Equation of Uniformly Accelerated Motion for SSS 2 Exam

A ball is thrown up with an initial velocity of 20 m/s and after some time it returns. What is the maximum height reached? Take g = 10 m/s2.
  • a)
    80m
  • b)
    20m
  • c)
    70m
  • d)
    40m
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
Here we will use the third equation of motion. The third equation of motion is v2 = u2 + 2as. At the maximum height, the velocity of the ball will be zero, therefore, v = 0, u = 20, and a = -g = -10. On solving, we will get s = 20m.

Understanding Uniformly Accelerated Motion
In uniformly accelerated motion, the system can be fully described using a set of variables. To understand why the correct answer is option 'B' (3 variables), let’s break down the components of the motion:
Key Variables in Uniformly Accelerated Motion
To fully characterize uniformly accelerated motion, you need the following three variables:
- Initial Velocity (u): This is the velocity of the object at the start of the observation period. It provides a baseline for how fast the object was moving before acceleration began.
- Acceleration (a): This represents the constant rate of change of velocity over time. It indicates how quickly the object's speed is increasing or decreasing.
- Time (t): This is the duration for which the object is in motion under the influence of acceleration. It helps in determining how long the acceleration affects the object.
Derived Variables
Once you have these three variables, you can calculate other important metrics, such as:
- Final Velocity (v): Using the equation v = u + at, you can determine how fast the object is moving after a certain time period.
- Displacement (s): The distance covered by the object during the acceleration can be calculated with the equation s = ut + (1/2)at².
Conclusion
In summary, three variables (initial velocity, acceleration, and time) are necessary to fully describe a system in uniformly accelerated motion. With these, you can derive other important parameters, but the basic three are essential for a complete understanding of the motion.

A caterpillar starts travelling at a speed of 1 m/h. If the rate at which the speed changes is 0.1 m/h2, what is the final speed after 10 Hrs?
  • a)
    2 m/h
  • b)
    1 m/h
  • c)
    0.5 m/h
  • d)
    5 m/h
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
We can use the first equation of motion here. The first equation says, v = u + at, here, u = 1 m/h, t = 10 Hrs, a = 0.1 m/h2. On putting all the values in the equation, we will get v = 2 m/h.

A coin and a bag full of rocks are thrown in a gravity less environment with the same initial speed. Which one of the following statements is true about the situation?
  • a)
    The bag will travel faster
  • b)
    The coin will travel faster
  • c)
    Both will travel with the same speed
  • d)
    Bag will not move
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?



Explanation:

Initial Speed:
- In a gravity-less environment, both the coin and the bag of rocks will have the same initial speed when thrown.

Effect of Gravity:
- In a gravity-less environment, there is no force acting on the objects to change their speed or direction.
- Therefore, both the coin and the bag of rocks will continue to move at the same speed without any acceleration or deceleration.

Newton's First Law of Motion:
- According to Newton's First Law of Motion, an object in motion will stay in motion with the same speed and in the same direction unless acted upon by an external force.
- Since there are no external forces acting on the coin or the bag of rocks in this scenario, they will continue to move with the same speed.

Conclusion:
- Therefore, both the coin and the bag of rocks will travel with the same speed in a gravity-less environment.

A body moves a distance of 15 m in a 15mins, with an initial velocity of 0m/min. What is the final velocity in m/min?
  • a)
    2
  • b)
    8
  • c)
    5
  • d)
    6
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Zoe Sanchez answered
Given:
Distance = 15 m
Time = 15 mins
Initial velocity = 0 m/min

To find: Final velocity

Formula:
Velocity = Distance / Time

Calculation:
Velocity = 15 m / 15 mins

Converting minutes to seconds:
1 min = 60 seconds
15 mins = 15 * 60 seconds = 900 seconds

Velocity = 15 m / 900 seconds

Simplifying the expression:
Velocity = 1/60 m/second

Converting seconds to minutes:
1 minute = 60 seconds
1 second = 1/60 minutes

Velocity = 1/60 m/second * 1/60 minutes/second
Velocity = 1/3600 m/minute

Therefore, the final velocity is 1/3600 m/min.

Answer: The final velocity in m/min is option 'A' (2).

In the first 10s of a body’s motion, the velocity changes from 10 m/s to 20m/s. During the next 30s the velocity changes from 20m/s to 50m/s. What is the average acceleration in m/s2?
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    0.5
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
Average acceleration is the total change in velocity by the total change in time. Here, total change in velocity = 50 - 10 = 40m/s, and total change in time = 30 + 10 = 40s. Therefore, average acceleration = 1 m/s2.

15 m/s can be written in km/h as ______
  • a)
    54
  • b)
    44
  • c)
    45
  • d)
    56
Correct answer is option 'A'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
The formula for conversion is, km/h = (18/5) x m/s. Therefore, 15 m/s = 15 x (18/5) = 54 km/h.

The equations of motion are valid for which of the following types of motion?
  • a)
    Constant energy
  • b)
    Uniformly accelerated
  • c)
    Non-uniformly accelerated
  • d)
    Motion along a curve
Correct answer is option 'B'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
The three equations of motion are valid for uniformly accelerated motion. The equations do not work in situations where the acceleration is non-uniform. In that case it is better to work with the differential forms of velocity and acceleration.

Number of primary equations of motion is ___
  • a)
    1
  • b)
    2
  • c)
    3
  • d)
    4
Correct answer is option 'C'. Can you explain this answer?

Orion Classes answered
There are primarily 3 equations of motion. These are v = u + at, s = ut + (1/2)at2 and v2 = u2 + 2as.
