Question 1420129
Section A
1. Read the text carefully and answer the questions: [5]
Tabu lives at A. He was supposed to do to his uncle's house at B. A and B is connected by a straight road 5 km
long. But that day the road was under repair. So, all the buses were following a diversion via C. A to B via C is 7
km. Moreover, this route is congested There is a traffic signal at C also.
Tabu got a seat just behind the driver He noticed that the minimum reading in the speedometer was 15km/h. But
ultimately the bus took 1 hour to each B. He could not understand the fallacy.
(a) What is the distance and displacement of Tabu?
a) 5 km, 5 km b) 7 km, 5 km
c) 7 km, 7 km d) 5 km, 7 km
(b) Why the speedometer reading was minimum 15 km/h, but actual time required to cover 7 km was 1 hour?
c) Both Speedometer was erratic and the d) Actual distance was more than 7 km.
actual distance was more than 7 km.
(c) Speedometer measures
a) 7 km/h b) 6 km/h
c) 4 km/h d) 5 km/h
(e) Which of the following graphs represents the motion of the bus if it covers AC distance at a speed CB
distance at a speed 20 km/h of 15 km/h, CB distance at a speed 20 km/h and total distance is covered in 1
hour including halt at traffic signal?
1/3
a) b)
c) d)
Section B
2. Assertion: Velocity-time graph for an object in uniform motion along a straight path is a straight line parallel to [1]
the time axis.
Reason: In the uniform motion of an object, velocity increases as the square of the time elapsed.
a) If both assertion and reason are true and the b) If both assertion and reason are true but the
reason is the correct explanation of reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion. assertion.
c) If the assertion is true but the reason is false. d) If both assertion and reason are false.
3. Assertion: A body can have acceleration even if its velocity is zero at an instant. [1]
Reason: A body is momentarily at rest when it reverses its direction of motion.
a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct b) Both A and R are true but R is not the
explanation of A. correct explanation of A.
a) If both assertion and reason are true and the b) If both assertion and reason are true but the
reason is the correct explanation of reason is not the correct explanation of
assertion. assertion.
c) If the assertion is true but the reason is false. d) If both assertion and reason are false.
Section C
5. Look at the graphs (a) to (d) (figure) carefully and state, with reasons, which of these cannot possibly represent [3]
one-dimensional motion of a particle.

6. A drunkard walking in a narrow lane takes 5 steps forward and 3 steps backward, followed again by 5 steps [3]
forward and 3 steps backward, and so on. Each step is 1 m long and requires 1 s. Plot the x-t graph of his
motion. Determine graphically and otherwise how long the drunkard takes to fall in a pit 13 m away from the
start.
7. From the top of a tower, a ball is dropped to fall freely under gravity and at the same time, another ball is thrown [3]
up with a velocity of 50 ms-1. Plot the position-time graph for the motion of the two balls during the time
