GRADE : 9 CHAPTER 1: LAWS OF MOTION

Evaluation:

Q1.Match the following:

S.No. Column 1 Column 2 Column3

1. Negative acceleration The velocity of the object A vehicle moving with a
decreases speed of 10m/s stops
after every 5 sec
2. Positive acceleration The velocity of the object A car initially at rest
increases reaches a velocity of 50
km/hr in 10 sec
3. Zero acceleration The velocity of the object A vehicle moving with a
remains constant velocity of 25m/s .

Q2.Clarify the differences:

Distance
1. Distance travelled by a body is defined
as the actual length of the path
travelled by the body irrespective of its
direction of motion.
Displacement
1. Displacement of a body is define as the
shortest distance from initial to final
position of the body.

2. Distance is a scalar quantity. 2. Displacement is a vector quantily.

3. Distance is always taken as positive.
4. Distance travelled by a body changes
according to the path of the body.
3. Displacement can be positive, negative
or zero.
4. Displacement of body does not depend
on its path, but depends only on its
initial and final positions.

 Uniform motion
1. The motion in which the object covers
equal distance in equal intervals of time is
uniform motion.
2. The distance time graph for uniform
motion is a straight line.
Non uniform motion
1. The motion in which the object covers
unequal distance in equal intervals of time
is non-uniform motion.
2. The distance time graph for non-uniform
motion is a curved line.

Velocity Acceleration
1. It is the rate of change of displacement 1. It is the rate of change of velocity.
with respect to time. Acceleration=change in velocity
Velocity=displacement Time
Time
2.Unit – m/s 2.Unit – m/s2

Balanced force Unbalanced force

1. When two forces acting on a body are
equal in magnitude and opposite in
direction
2.The resultant force is zero
1. When two forces acting on a body are
unequal in magnitude and can be in same
or opposite direction
2.The resultant force is greater or less
than zero

Q5.Give scientific reasons:

a) When an object falls freely to the ground, its acceleration is uniform.

Ans. The motion of a freely falling body is an example of uniform acceleration because
while falling the velocity increases or decreases by equal amounts in equal intervals of
time.

b) Even though the magnitudes of action force and reaction force are equal and their
directions are opposite, their effects do not get cancelled.
Ans. 1) Action and reaction forces cancel each other only when acting on the same
body.
2) When they act on different bodies they will not cancel each other, although they are
of same magnitude and opposite direction.

c) It is easier to stop a tennis ball as compared to a cricket ball, when both are travelling
with the same velocity.
Ans.1)The mass of the tennis ball is less than that of the cricket ball.
2)Thus, momentum (p=mv) is greater for cricket ball since the velocity is same.
Hence, it is easier to stop a tennis ball than a cricket ball.

d) The velocity of an object at rest is considered to be uniform.

1. A body is said to be in a state of uniform motion if it moves with a constant speed.
2. An object at rest covers zero distance at equal intervals of time.
Hence …..

Q7.Solve the following examples:

Ans 1.Given: Total distance travelled=18m+22m+14m=54m

Total time=3s+3s+3s=9s

To find: Average speed=?

Formula: Average speed= Total distance

Total time

Solution:
3
Average speed = Total distance
Total time
= 54 = 6m/s
9
Average speed =6m/s
Ans2. Given: Mass of the object ( m1)=16kg
a1 =3m/s2
Mass of other object (m2) =24kg

To find: Force and acceleration

Formula:
F=m1xa1
Solution:
1) F=m1xa1
F=16x3=48
Force=48N
1) a2=F/m2
=48/24=2
a2 = 2m/s2

3) Given: Mass of the bullet (m1) =10gm=10/100=0.01kg

Initial velocity of bullet (u1) =1.5m/s
Mass of wooden plank (m2) =90gm=90/100=0.09kg
Initial velocity of the plank (u2) =0m/s
To find: Final velocity of bullet
v1=v2=v i.e common velocity
Formula: Total initial momentum= Total final momentum
m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2
Solution:
m1u1+m2u2= m1v1+m2v2
0.01x1.5+0.09x0=0.01x v+0.09xv
0.015+0=0.1v
v=0.015/0.1=0.15m/s

Velocity=0.15m/s

Ans. This is to increase the time of the high jumper’s fall to stop after making the jump.
This decreases the rate of change of momentum and hence the force.

Practice questions:
1. A vehicle accelerates at the rate of 10m/s2 after the applying of force equal to
50000 N. Find the mass of the vehicle.
2. A motorboat starting from rest on a lake accelerates in a straight line at a constant
rate of 3.0 m/s2 for 8.0 s. How far does the boat travel during this time?
