CHAPTER 8 – MOTION WORKSHEET

1.A particle is moving up an inclined plane. Its velocity changes

from 25m/s to 10m/s in 5s. What is its acceleration?
2.A stone is thrown in a vertically upward direction with a velocity
of 10 m/s. If the acceleration of the stone during its motion is 10
m /s2 in the downward direction, what will be the height attained
by the stone and how much time will it take to reach there?
3.A particle is pushed along a horizontal surface in such a way
that it starts with a velocity of 12m/s. Its velocity decreases at a
uniform rate of 0.5m/s2.
(a) Find the time it will take to come to rest.
(b) Find the distance covered by it before coming to rest?
4.A cyclist moving on a circular track of radius 50m completes
one revolution in 4 minutes. What is his
(a) average speed
(b) average velocity in one full revolution?
5.Below Figure represents the speed time graph for a particle.
Find the distance covered by the particle
a. between t= 30min. and t= 40min.
b. between t=10 min and t=40 min
c. what is the speed of the particle
6.Figure shows distance time graph of three objects A, B and C
a. which object is moving with a greater speed
b. which object is moving with slowest speed

7.Marc runs from one end to the other end of a semicircular track
whose radius is 140m. What is the distance covered by the marc
and what is his displacement?
8.A swimmer swims 90m long pool. He covers the distance of
180m by swimming from one end to another end back along the
same path. If he covers the first 90m at speed of 2m/s, then how
fast he swims so that his average speed is 3m/s?
9. Differentiate distance and displacement with examples.
10. State the three equations of motion and explain the terms in
each equation with the SI unit.
