1 Heading 'Motion and Measurement of Distances: Doubt Session'
2 Ans:
(d) circular, Oscillatory
3 Ans:
(a) circular motion
4 Ans:
Distance travelled by snail = End point – Start point
= (80 – 5) cm
= 75 cm
Time taken = 15 s
Speed = Distance/Time
= 75 cm/15 s
= 5 cm/s
= 0.05 m/s ( 1 cm = 1/100 m)
5 Ans:
Circular and Periodic
6 Ans:
Strings of a guitar execute periodic motion. Out of the options, a falling
apple is not associated with periodic motion

Correct answer is (c)

7 Ans:
Length of the table = 3 danda
Width of the table = 3 gilli = 3/1.5 danda = 2 danda

Area of the table = (length) × (width) = 3 × 2 = 6 (danda)2

8 Ans
(a) Measurement using measuring tape

9 Ans:
Distance between the points = 30 m
Length of the larger string = 50 cm = 0.50 m
Length of the smaller string = 15 cm = 0.15 m
In order to make the total number of strings minimum, the larger string
should be used the maximum number of times to measure the given distance.
Number of larger strings required can be obtained as:
To measure 0.50 cm length, 1 string is required.
To measure 1 m length, 2 strings are required.
To measure 2 m length, 4 strings are required.
To measure 4 m length, 8 strings are required.
To measure 8 m length, 16 strings are required.
To measure 16 m length, 32 strings are required.
To measure 32 m length, 64 strings are required.
To measure 33 m length, 66 strings are required.
The rest 0.15 m length is measured by one 0.15 m string.
Hence, to measure the given distance, sixty -six 50 cm length strings are used
and one 0.15 cm length string is used.
10 Ans:
3 x length of the rod = 3.6 m
Length of the rod = 3.6/3 = 1.2 m
11 Ans:
Length of the pencil I = 4.5 cm
Length of pencil II = 3 cm
Difference in length = 4.5 – 3 = 1.5 cm
The correct option is C.

12 Ans:
In a racing event, both participants have to run the same distance. Let this
 distance be d.
Time taken by John = ta
Time taken by Jack = tz = 3ta
Speed is given by the relation:

Speed of John, va =

Speed of Jack, vz =

Hence, va:vz = 3:1

13 Ans:
Speed = Total distance travelled/total time taken
Speed of the bus = Distance between the house and the school/Total time
taken by the bus to reach school
Speed = 30 km/1/2 = 60 km/h
The correct answer is B.
