(b) What changes continuously in uniform circular motion ? ‘
Solution :
(a)Speed
(b)Direction of motion
Question 2:
State whether the following statement is true or false :
Earth moves round the sun with uniform velocity.
Solution :
No, earth moves round the sun with uniform speed, but its velocity changes continuously.
Question 3:
A body goes round the sun with constant speed in a circular orbit. Is the motion uniform or accelerated ?
Solution :
The motion is accelerated.
Question 4:
What conclusion can you draw about the velocity of a body from the displacement-time graph shown below :

Solution :
It represents uniform velocity.
Question 5:
Name the quantity which is measured by the area occupied under the velocity-time graph.
Solution :
Distance travelled by the moving body .
Question 6:
What does the slope of a speed-time graph indicate ?
Solution :
The slope of a speed-time graph indicates acceleration.
Question 7:
What does the slope of a distance-time graph indicate ?
Solution :
The slope of a distance-time graph indicates speed.
Question 8:
Give one example of a motion where an object does not change its speed but its direction of motion changes continuously.
Solution :
Motion of moon around the earth.
Question 9:
Name the type of motion in which a body has a constant speed but not constant velocity.
Solution :
Uniform circular motion.
Question 10:
What can you say about the motion of a body if its speed-time graph is a straight line parallel to the time axis ?
Solution :
The Speed of the body is constant or uniform.
