Hint:
Look at the graphs (a) to (d) in Fig. 1.21 carefully and state with reasons, which of these cannot
possibly represent one dimensional motion of a particle.
(a) it is not possible. A line drawn parallel to position-axis will cut the graph at P and Q corresponding to
x1 and x2 for the same time, which is absurd.

and Q respectively are shown in Fig. 1.24. Choose the correct entries in the brackets below:

(ii) (A/B) starts from the school earlier than (B/A).
(iii) A and B reach home at the (same/different) time.
(iv) (A/B) overtakes (B/A) on the road (once/twice).
(v) (A/B) walks faster than (B/A).
Hint:
(i) A lives closer to the school than B because P is close to 0 then Q.
(ii) A starts from the school earlier than B because A starts when t = 0.
(iii) A and B reach homes at different times (A reaches after t1 and B after t9).
(iv) As the two curves intersect at one point only, B overtakes A on the road once.
(v) Since the curve for B is steeper than for A, B walks faster than A.

Suppose the train moves from P to R with uniform acceleration a 1 and then from R to Q with

Taking PR = S1 and RQ = S2 and t1, t2 be the times taken for these two parts respectively, we

S1 + S2 = 4 km

In a tug of war, one team is slowly giving way to the other. What work is being done, and by whom?
Work is done by the winning team. It is equal to the product of the resultant force applied by the two
teams and the displacement that the losing team suffers.

A body is kept moving with uniform speed in a circle by a centripetal force acting on it. However, the
work done by this force is zero. Is it true? Explain.
Hint:
28.
The earth moving round the sun in a circular orbit is acted upon by a force, and hence work must be
done on the earth by this force. Do you agree with this statement?
The statement is wrong. Work done is zero because the centripetal force cannot do any work on the
earth.

Hint:
When a ball is thrown up, the magnitude of its momentum decreases and then increases. Does this
violate the conservation of momentum principle?
There is no violation of the conservation of momentum. The net momentum of the system (earth + ball

(Hint: Total time (t) = 2.5 s. It consists of two parts: (i) Time taken (t 1) by the stone to reach the water
surface in the well and (ii) Time taken (t 2) by the sound to cover a distance equal to the depth of the
well).

The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum varies directly with the square root of the length.
2.
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is inversely proportional to the square root of cceleration
due to gravity.
3.
The time period is smaller means that pendulum will vibrate slowly.
4.
The period of oscillation of a simple pendulum is directly proportional to the mass of the job.
5.
6.
If a pendulum clock is taken from the equator to the poles, time period increases.
7.
The effective length of a pendulum is the distance between the point of supension and the centre of
gravity of the bob.
