CLASS IX Subject: Physics

Q.1) Answer the following:

1) Write the difference between

a) Uniform acceleration and Non- uniform acceleration.
b) Distance and Displacement
c) Velocity and Speed
d) Acceleration and Retardation

2) Write the SI unit for the following:

a) Distance b) Speed c) Acceleration

3) A body is moving in a circular path. It returns to the position from where it started. What is the
displacement of the body?
4) Is it possible that the train in which you are sitting appears to move while it is at rest. Explain.

5) Under what conditions can a body travel a certain distance and yet its resultant displacement be zero.

6) Give one example of a situation in which a body has a certain average speed but its average velocity is
zero.

Q.2) Solve the following:

1) The distances travelled and the times taken by four cars I, II, III, and IV are shown in the given table.
Complete the table and answer the question

Car Distance travelled ( km) Time taken (min) Speed(km/h)

I 85 120
II 71 100
III 60 90
IV 91 130

Which of the following statements is correct?

a. Car IV is slower than car III.
b. Car I is faster than car II.
c. Car III is the slowest.
d. Car IV is the fastest. ( Ans.: d)
2) An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 14 m in 20 s. What will be the distance
covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 10 s?(Ans: Distance =286m. displacement = 14m)

3) A girl travels with the speed of 6km/h for 2h and with the speed of 4km/h for the next 3h. Find the
average speed of the girl and the total distance covered. (Ans: 4.8km/h)

4) A bus travels a distance 120 km with a speed of 40 km/h and returns with speed of 30km/h. Calculate
the average speed for the entire journey. (Ans: 34.29km/h)

5) A train travels the first 15km at a uniform speed of 30km/h; the next 75km at a uniform speed of
50km/h; and the last 10 km at a uniform speed of 20km/h. Calculate the average speed for the entire
train journey. (Ans: 25km/h)
