STUDENT WORKSHEET #2

CLASS: IX
SUBJECT: PHYSICS
Chapter: Motion
Topics: motion along a straight line, uniform and non uniform motion
Assertion – reason questions
Answer these questions selecting the appropriate options given below.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A.
b) Both A and R are true but R is not the correct explanation of A.
c) A is true but R is false.
d) A is false but R is false.

1. Assertion (A) : The distance – time graph of uniform motion is a straight

line. Reason (R) : Dependent variable is along y axis and independent
variable is along x axis
2. Assertion (A) : The velocity of a body is a scalar quantity.
Reason ( R ) : A vector quantity has both magnitude and direction.
3. Assertion (A) : Motion of moon around the earth is a non uniform motion
Reason ( R ) : The size of moon is smaller than that of earth
4. Assertion (A) : The distance and displacement are different physical
quantities
Reason ( R ) : Distance is the length of actual path while displacement is
directed distance between initial and final positions.

ASSET questions
1. In which of these cases is there no ROTATIONAL MOTION?
a) operating a pulley c) riding a bicycle
b) hitting a shuttlecock d) using a beam balance
2. Two friends started from the same point and walked 12 m each, but in
opposite directions. Then, each turned to his left and walked another 9
m. What is the distance between them when they stop?
a) 40m c) 24m
b) 30m d) 21m
