CHAPTER 2: MOTION AND TIME
SOLUTION KEY
1. They do not have equal speed because they cover unequal distance in equal intervals of time. One of
them has higher speed whom has to cover larger distance with respect to other.
2. Raju travels with a higher speed as he has covered same distance in lesser time with respect to Ravi.
3. The motion of bob is non-uniform as it does not cover equal distance in equal intervals of time.
4. We can decide time of the day without clock by seeing shadow formed by the sun, e.g. at noon,
shadow formed by the sun is shorter than at evening.
5. In a day, we have 24 h
We know that 1 h = 3600 s
So, 24 h = 3600 × 24 = 86400s
6. In a year, we have 365 days and 1 day = 24 h
So, for 365 days, we have 24 × 365 h = 8760 h
7.
8. The factors on which the time period of a simple pendulum depend are
(a) Length of the pendulum
(b) Weight of bob.
9.
∴ Increase in speed = Final speed – Initial speed =(15-10) m/s = 5 m/s
(b) Priyanka applied the brakes at a right time while driving the car and prevented her family and the
person on rickshaw from meeting with an accident.
10. Since, the distance-time graph of an object D is a straight line therefore, its motion is uniform. Also
here, we can see that the distance-time graph of object E is parallel to x-axis (time-axis), therefore
object E is at rest.
As, the distance-time graph of object F is a curved line, therefore the object C is moving with a non-
uniform speed and its motion is non-uniform.
11. After studying the figure given alongside, D or E is moving slower as the slope of distance-time
graph of E is less than that of graph D.
12. (a) From the graph, it is clear that the distance at 20 s is 8 m.
(b) Distance travelled by the body object in 12 s is 6 m.
(c) As, average speed = Total distance Total time =820=0.4m/s
13. (a) Since, the graph between B and C is parallel to time-axis, so it indicates that Ajay is at rest.
(b) Since, the graph is not straight line, so it is a non-uniform motion.
(c) As, speed = Distance Time =225−15012−8=754=18.75m/min

14. From the question, Bholu covers 3 km distance in 15 min.
15. (a) Distance = Speed × Time
16. (a) Since, speed is constant for A and S, so graph for A and 6 will be a straight line.
17. (d) Conversion of km/h into m/s
18. (d) Odometer
19. (a) 5 m/s
20. (c) a straight line inclined at some angles towards x-axis
21. (b) straight line parallel to x-axis
22. (b) Given, total distance = 3+ 3 = 6km, total time = 30 + 20 = 50 min
23. (a) Time period of a simple pendulum is the total time taken to complete one full cycle.
24. (d) Blinking of eyes
25. (c) Time interval of 5 min can be measured by both A and B
