Chapter 2: Motion in a Straight Line
Total Marks: 40 Time: 1 Hour
Section A: Very Short Answer (1 mark × 5 = 5 marks)
1. Define instantaneous velocity.
2. What is the dimensional formula of velocity?
3. What does the area under acceleration-time graph represent?
4. Can the speed of a body be negative? Justify.
5. What does the slope of a velocity-time graph indicate?
Section B: Short Answer – Conceptual & Numerical (2 marks × 6 = 12 marks)
6. A body travels 60 m in 3 seconds and then 90 m in 6 seconds. What is its average speed for the
entire journey?
7. Derive the relation: s = ut + (1/2)at² for uniformly accelerated motion.
8. A particle moves with initial velocity 10 m/s and uniform acceleration 2 m/s². Find: (a) velocity
after 5 s, (b) distance travelled in 5 s.
9. A train travels 600 m at 30 km/h and returns back at 60 km/h. Find average speed for the entire
journey.
10. A car accelerates from rest to 20 m/s in 4 seconds. It then moves at constant speed for 6
seconds and finally comes to rest in 5 seconds. Find total distance travelled.
11. A particle moves in a straight line with acceleration a(t) = 4t. If initial velocity is zero, find velocity
at t = 5 s.
Section C: Long Answer – Numerical (3 marks × 3 = 9 marks)
12. A car moves with velocity 20 m/s for 2 minutes and then 40 m/s for 1 minute. Find: (i) total
distance, (ii) total time, (iii) average speed.
13. A particle is moving along a straight line with initial velocity 5 m/s and acceleration 3 m/s². Find:
(i) velocity after 4 seconds, (ii) distance travelled in those 4 seconds, (iii) average velocity during
this interval.
14. A stone is projected vertically upwards with velocity 25 m/s. Calculate: (i) time to reach
maximum height, (ii) maximum height, (iii) total time of flight.
Section D: Application-Based/Graph (4 marks × 2 = 8 marks)
15. A body moves as per the graph given below:
(i) What type of motion does each segment represent?
(ii) Calculate total displacement and total distance.
