3.1 Linear Motion

(1) What is meant by distance?

(2) What is meant by displacement?

(3) What are scalar quantities?

(4) Give three examples for scalar quantities.

(5) What are vector quantities?

(4) Give three examples for vector quantities.

(1) A motor bike moved 4 km to south and then 6 km backwards,

(a) What is the total distance moved?

(b) What is its displacement?

(2) Explain what is speed?

(3) If a body moves a distance of 60 m in 10 s, what is its speed?

(4) What is meant by velocity?

(5) A child moved from A to B in the path shown by the diagram.

East
The distance from A to B is 200 m where as the straight lined distance from A to B is 100 m. Time taken for a child to
move from A to B is 40 s.
(a) What is the displacement?

(b) What is his speed?

(c) What is his 'rate of change of displacement'?

(d) What term is given to the rate of change of displacement?

(6) The following table shows the displacement - time data of a child who is moving along a straight lined way.

Time (t) s 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
Displacement (s) m 0 3 6 9 12 12 12 6 0

(a) What is the displacement of the child after 3 s?

(b) How long have child moved in one direction (after starting motion)?

(c) How long has the child stay without moving?

(d) Draw the velocity - time graph for the above motion.
Velocity time data of an object moving along a straight lined way is given in the following table.

Time (t) s 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10
Velocity (ms-1) 0 4 8 12 16 16 16 16 16 8 0

(a) What is the rate of change of velocity in first four seconds?

(b) What is the term used to describe the rate of change of velocity?

(c) How long have been moving with uniform velocity?

(d) What is the acceleration during last two seconds?

(e) Why do you obtain a negative value for that?

(f) Draw the velocity-time graph for it.

3.2 Methods Used to Ease Work

(1) Give some examples for simple machines.

(2) Make a list of machines and mechanical devices used in a construction site.

(3) What are the uses of a bulldozer?

(4) What should be done to fall down a tree or boulder by a bulldozer?

(5) What use we can get from the blade of a dozer?

(6) What are the uses of a 'Backhoe machine'?

(7) When storied buildings are constructed, large concrete piles have to be sunk in to the soil,
to hold the weight of the building. Explain how this is done.

(8) 'Shifter' is used for what?

(9) What special feature makes it to suit to the above?

(10) Spanner and box spanner are used for what purpose?
(12) What is the use of following device?

(13) It is included in what type of simple machines?

(14) Name jack instrument of which inclined plane is turned spirally round an axis in it.

(15) What is-the function of the above device?

(16) Hoist is used for what purpose?

(17) Plough comes under what type of machine?

(18) How effort is applied to a plough?

(19) What are the uses of a tractor?

(20) What is the use of the trailer of the tractor?

(21) Broad wheels are found at the back of a tractor. What is the use of them?
(22) Large ridges are made in tyres of a tractor. What is the use of these ridges.
