Grade 9 Unit 2 Motion in 1D Short Note and Exercies Questions
UNIT - 2
Motion in a straight line
✓ Motion: Is the continuous change in position of a moving body, with respect to some
frame of reference.
Uniform motion
✓ Uniform motion: is the motion of a body with steady speed in a straight line.
✓ Distance (S): Is the actual path length travelled by a moving body.
• Distance is a scalar quantity and its SI unit is meter (m).
✓ Displacement (S): Is the shortest path length covered by a body between two points.
• Displacement is a vector quantity and its SI unit is meter (m).
✓ Speed (V): Is distance travelled by a moving body divided by the time taken.
That is, speed = distance travelled V= S
time taken t
✓ Velocity is a vector quantity and its SI unit is m/s. 1m/s = 3.6 km/hr0tc0
✓ Instantaneous speed is the speed of a body at a given instant of time or particular
position.
✓ Instantaneous velocity is the velocity of a body at a given instant of time or particular
position.
Exercise 1
1. A car moves 8 km due East and then 6 km due North, if it takes 2 hours to cover the
trip. Find, a) The speed
b) The velocity of the car
2. A boy runs at 10 m/s for 4 sec, then walks at 8 m/s for 6 sec and rides a bicycle at 20
m/s for 12 sec. What is the average speed of the boy for the-entire trip?
3. A moving object increases its velocity uniformly from 20 m/s to 40 m/s in 2 min.
What is; a) Average velocity
b) Displacement of the object during the 2 min.
4. A car travels up a hill at a constant speed of 40km/h and returns down the hill at a
constant speed of 60 km/h. Calculate the average speed for the round trip.
Exercise 2
1. A car started from rest and moves at 90 km/h in 20 seconds, find the acceleration of the car.
2. A car travelling at 4 m/s towards west accelerates uniformly at a rate of 3 m/s2 for 3 seconds.
What is the velocity of the car after 3 seconds?
