Hints and Solutions

1. (d) 6. (a)
In one-dimensional motion, only one coordinate is Since, average velocity,
Δx Displacement
required to specify the position of the object. So, a v= =
Δt Time interval
train running on a straight track is an example of one- So, average velocity depends on the displacement and
dimensional motion. hence it depends on the sign of the displacement.

2. (a) 7. (d)
For a stationary object, the position-time graph is a When a particle completes one revolution in circular
straight line parallel to the time axis, so for the given motion, then average displacement travelled by
object at x = 40 m, x-t graph is correctly shown in particle is zero.
Hence, average velocity
option (a). average displacement 0
= = =0
Δt Δt
3. (a)
In I-D motion, positive and negative signs are used to 8. (b)
specify the direction of motion. Since, displacement Given, x = 2t + 3t2
dx
is a vector quantity, so negative sign in –240 m v=
dt
= 2 + 6t
indicates the direction of displacement. For t = 2s, v = 2 + 6 (2) = 14 ms–1

4. (c) 9. (c)
Time taken to travel first half distance, Since velocity is a vector quantity, having both
l/2 l magnitude and direction. So, a change in velocity may
t1 = = involve change in either or both of these factors.
v1 2v1
Time taken to travel second half distance, Therefore, acceleration may result from a change in
l speed (magnitude), a change in direction or changes
t2 =
2v2 in both.
l l l 1 1
Total time = t1 + t 2 = + = [ + ]
2v1 2v2 2 v1 v2
10. (b)
We know that, vav = average speed Given, x = 18t + 5t2
total distance dx d
= v = = (18t + 5t 2 ) = 18 + 10t
total time dt dt
l 2v1 v2
= l 1 1 = ∴ v = 10t + 18
v1 +v2
[ + ]
2 v1 v2 At t1 = 2s, v1 = 10(2) + 18 = 38 m/s
At t2 = 4s, v2 = 10(4) + 18 = 58 m/s
v −v 58−38 20
5. (a) ∴a= 2 1= = = 10 ms −2
t 2 2
As runner starts from O and comes back to O, so net
displacement is zero. 11. (a)
Average speed =
total distance
=
OQ+QR+RO
One-dimensional motion is a motion along a straight
total time Total time
90° line in any direction. e.g. A train is moving on a
1km+(2πr)( )km+1km
= 360° platform. Hence, option (a) is correct.
1h
(∴ angle of sector OQR is 90°)

12. (a)
=
1+2π×1( )+1
4 Since, displacement d is always less than or equal to
π
1
the distance D but never greater than it, i.e. d ≤ D. So,
= 2 + = 3.57 km/h numerical ratio of displacement to the distance
2
covered by an object is always equal to or less than
one.
