Chapter:2 Kinematics (9th physics new book)
Chapter: 2 Kinematics
Q1.
Is it possible that displacement is
zero but not the distance? Under what condition displacement is equal to the distance?
Statement:
Displacement is
zero but not the distance and displacement is equal to the distance.
Main
idea:
Definition of displacement and
distance.
Conclusion:
The
displacement and distance covered is equal if and only if the body is moving in
a straight line.
Q2.
Does speedometer measure a car’s
speed or its velocity?
Statement:
Speedometer measure a car’s
speed or its velocity.
Main
idea:
Definition
of speed and velocity.
Conclusion:
The speedometer of a car measures only magnitude of velocity not
the direction. Therefore, we can say that speedometer of the car does not
measure it velocity.
Q3.
Is it possible for an object to be
accelerating and at rest at the same time? Explain with example.
Statement:
An object be accelerating and
at rest at the same time.
Main
idea:
Gravitational
acceleration (free fall motion).
Conclusion:
Yes it possible
for an object to be accelerating and at rest at the same time.
Example:
When a body is thrown upward then the velocity decreases and
reaches to zero but the body is still under acceleration due to gravity (g = -
9.8 m/s2)
Q4.
Can an object have zero acceleration
and non-zero velocity at the same time? Give example.
Statement:
An object
have zero acceleration and non-zero velocity at the same time.
Main idea:
Definition of acceleration and velocity.
Conclusion:
Yes an object
have zero acceleration and non-zero velocity at the same time.
Example:
Suppose a body is moving with a uniform velocity of 5m/s from point
A to B. So the initial velocity of the body vi = 5m/s at
point A and final velocity is vf = 5 m/s at
point B. Now acceleration is
a = vf - vi = 5m/s
- 5m/s = 0 m/s2
t
t
Hence
acceleration a = 0 m/s2 for non-zero velocity of 5 m/s.
Q5.
A person
standing on the roof of a building throws a rubber ball down with a velocity of
8 m/s. What is the acceleration (magnitude and direction) of the ball?
Statement:
A person standing on the roof of a building throws a rubber ball
down with a velocity of 8 m/s and acceleration of the ball.
Main
idea:
Gravitational acceleration
(free fall motion).
Conclusion:
According to famous scientist Galileo all bodies falling toward
earth with a constant acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s2. Now a person
standing on the roof a building throws a rubber ball down with a velocity of 8
m/s. The acceleration of the ball will be g = 9.8 m/s2 directed
toward the earth.
Q6.
Describe a
situation in which the speed of an object is constant while the velocity is
not.
Statement:
A
situation in which the speed of an object is constant while the velocity is
not.
Main idea:
Definition of
uniform speed and uniform velocity.
Conclusion:
A situation in which the speed of an object is constant while the
velocity is not constant, may be that of circular motion. Suppose a body is
moving with a constant speed of 5m/s in a circle. Then the speed of the body will
be uniform while velocity of the body is changing at each point.

Q7.
Can an object
have northward velocity and a southward acceleration? Explain.
Statement:
An
object have northward velocity and a southward acceleration.
Main
idea:
Negative
acceleration (deceleration).
Conclusion:
-a
Q8.
As a freely
falling object speeds up, what is happening to its acceleration – does it
increases, decreases, or stay the same?
Statement:
A
freely falling object speeds up and acceleration.
Main
idea:
Gravitational
acceleration (free fall motion).
Conclusion:
According to
famous scientist Galileo all bodies falling toward earth with a constant
acceleration of g = 9.8 m/s2. The acceleration will be g = 9.8 m/s2
and it does not increase, decrease but stay the same.
Q9.
A ball is
thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 5m/s. What will its speed be
when it returns to its starting point?
Statement:
A
ball is thrown vertically upward with an initial speed of 5m/s and its speed when
it returns to its starting point.
Main idea:
Gravitational acceleration (free
fall motion).
Conclusion:
The body returns to its
starting point with the same speed of 5m/s in the absence of air resistance.

Q2.Physics and biology are considered different branches of science,
how physics links with biology?
Physics has many applications in the biological sciences.
- i. On the microscopic level, it helps describe the properties of cell walls and cell membranes.
- ii. On the macroscopic level, it can explain the heat, work, and power associated with the human body.
- iii. Physics is involved in medical diagnostics, such as x-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and CT scan etc.
- iv. Medical therapy sometimes directly involves physics; for example, cancer radiotherapy uses ionizing radiation.
- v. Physics can also explain sensory phenomena, how we hear sound, how the eye detects color.
Q3.Why are measurements important?
Measurement is important because:
- i. Measurement is an integral part of human race, without it there will be no trade, no statistics.
- ii. Kids try to compare their height, size of candy, size of dolls and amount of toys they have.
- iii. We measure distances between different cities.
- iv. We measure values in different experiments.
- v. To buy or sell clothes and food items we measure.
Q4.Why area is called a derived quantity?
Area is the multiplication of two base physical quantities length
and width. Therefore it is known as derived physical quantity.
Mathematically
Area = length x width
A = Lx W
The SI unit of area is m2.

Q6.Why in physics we need to write in scientific notation?
In Science one often needs to work with very large or very small
numbers. These can be written more easily in scientific notation or standard
form. Generally
N=M x 10n
Here N=number
M=mantissa
n= exponent
Q7.What is least count? How least count for Vernier caliper and screw
gauge are defined?
The minimum length that can be measured by an instrument is called
least count (L.C)
Least count for Vernier calipers
The smallest digit on the main scale divided by the total numbers
on the Vernier scale is called least count of Vernier calipers. Mathematically
L.C=1mm/10 = 0.1mm or 0.01cm
Least count for screw gauge
The pitch of the screw divided by the total number of divisions on
the circular scale is called least count of the screw gauge. Mathematically
L.C=1mm/100 = 0.01mm or 0.001cm
Q8.How can we find the volume of a small pebble with the help of
measuring cylinder?
We can find the volume of a small pebble when water is poured in
measuring cylinder and noted the volume of water V1. Then put the pebble in the
cylinder gently. When the pebble is completely immersed the volume of water is
read again as V2. The volume of the pebble (∆V) is found by
subtracting the first reading V1 from the second V2.
∆V= V2 - V1
