    Answer the following questions after reading the given passage…..

    Reference Point and Reference Frame


    To describe the position of an object, we need a reference point or origin. An object may
    seem to be moving to one observer and stationary to another.
    Example: A passenger inside a bus sees the other passengers to be at rest, whereas an
    observer outside the bus sees the passengers to be in motion.
    In order to make observations easy, a convention or a common reference point or frame is
    needed. All objects must be in the same reference frame.

    Distance and Displacement


    The magnitude of the length covered by a moving object is called distance. It has no
    direction.

    Displacement is the shortest distance between two points or the distance between the
    starting and final positions with respect to time. It has magnitude as well as direction.

    Displacement can be zero, but distance cannot.


    Time, Average Speed and Velocity
    Time and speed
    Time is the duration of an event that is expressed in seconds. Most physical phenomena
    occur with respect to time. It is a scalar quantity.

    Speed is the rate of change in distance. If a body covers a certain distance in a certain
    amount of time, its speed is given by

    The instantaneous speed is the speed of an object at a particular moment in time.

    Average speed is stated as the distance covered by the object within a period of time.

    Average speed = Total distance travelled / Total time taken

    Uniform motion and Non-uniform motion

    When an object covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is in uniform motion.

    Examples of Uniform Motion


    Movement of the ceiling fan’s blades.
    Motion of Earth around the sun
    Pendulum with equivalent amplitude on either side
    When an object covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in
    non-uniform motion.

    Bouncing ball
    Running horse
    Moving train
    Velocity
    The Rate of change of displacement is velocity. It is a vector quantity. Here the direction of
    motion is specified.

    Instantaneous velocity is the rate of change of position for a time interval which is very
    small, i.e. almost zero.
    OR
    In more simple words, the velocity of an object at a given instant of time is known as
    instantaneous velocity.

    Average velocity is defined as the displacement divided by the time intervals in which the
    displacement occurs.
    Acceleration
    The rate of change of velocity is called acceleration. It is a vector quantity. In non-uniform
    motion, velocity varies with time, i.e., the change in velocity is not 0. It is denoted by “a”

    Acceleration = Change in Velocity / Time

    (OR)
    a= (v-u)/t

    Where t (time taken), v (final velocity) and u (initial velocity).

    Answer the following questions:-


    Q1. An athlete completes one round of a circular track of diameter 200 m in 40 s. What will
    be the distance covered and the displacement at the end of 2 minutes 20 s?
    Q2. Distinguish between speed and velocity.
    Q3. What does the odometer of an automobile measure?
    Q4. Differentiate between distance and displacement?
    Q5. Differentiate between scalars and vectors quantity?
    Q6.Does the speedometer of a car measure its average speed?
    Q7. When is the acceleration taken as negative?
    Q8 What is the difference between uniform velocity and non-uniform velocity?
    Q9. A cheetah is the fastest land animal and can achieve a peak velocity of 100 km/h up to
    distances less than 500 m. If a cheetah spots its prey at a distance of 100 m, what is the
    minimum time it will take to get its prey, if the average velocity attained by it is 90 km/h?
    Q10. Write 5 physical quantities and their SI Units.
    ALL THE BEST
