ASSIGNMENT No: 9
Solution

Lecture: 9
Class: XI

Subject : Physics
Topics : Position, path length and displacement
: Average velocity and average speed

Multiple choice questions

1. (a) 4 s
Explanation:
= a (2)2 and l = at2
t2 = 16, t = 4 s
2. (d) Equal to or less than 1
3. (d)
4. (c)
5. (c)Average velocity is zero
Explanation:
From the graph the net displacement is zero
So, Average velocity = 0

Fill in the blanks

6. Greater than or equal to

7. Point mass or point object
8. Average velocity
9. Two
10. Relative

Answer the following

11. No
12. When both cycles are moving with same velocity.
13. Change in velocity= v-(-v)=-30-(-30)=-60 m/s
14. When object is moving in straight line.
15. Less than or equal to
