B. Answer the following questions.
Question 1.
Define Motion.
Answer:
If an object changes its position with respect to its surroundings with time, it is said to be in motion.
Question 2.
Identify objects in motion and at rest.
Answer:
Think that you are sitting in a standing bus. When you look out of the window you find that some trees in the rest state. But when the bus runs, the trees appear to be in motion. You are at rest when a person sitting with you in the bus sees you, but you are in motion along with the bus to a person standing on the road side. Thus it is clear that states of rest and motion are with respect to surroundings or a fixed point called reference point
Question 3.
Describe different types of motion, with examples from daily life.
Answer:
Motion can be of following three types :
(a) Translatory motion : If all the points of an object change their place through the same distance in same time, then the object is said to be in translatory motion.
Examples :
1. An apple falling from a tree.
2. Ant moving in a straight line.
(b) Circular motion : If an object moves along a circle or circular path, then the object is said to be in circular motion.
Examples :
1. A running fan.
2. Hands of a clock. ,
(c) Oscillatory motion : If an object moves ‘to and fro’ from its position of rest, then the object is said to be in oscillatory motion.
Examples :
1. Motion of Pendulum of a wall clock.
2. Motion of a Swing.
Question 4.
Define uniform and non-uniform motion with examples from daily life.
Answer:
Uniform motion : If an object covers equal distances in equal durations of time, then its motion is known as uniform motion.
Example : Hands of a clock or watch have uniform motion. Non-uniform
motion : If an object does not cover equal distances in equal intervals of time, then it is said to have nonuniform motion.
Example : Motion of a scooter.
Question 5.
Define concept of speed (average speed).
Answer:
Average speed of an object is given by total distance travelled by the object divided by total time taken to cover the total
distance that is average Speed = 
Question 6.
Calculate average speed of objects based on data provided. Total distance covered
Answer:
Average speed =
= \(\frac{(4+6+20) \mathrm{km}}{(5+5+15) \mathrm{min}}\)
= \(\frac{30 \mathrm{~km}}{25 \mathrm{~min}}\)
= \(\frac{30 \times 1000 \mathrm{~m}}{25 \times 60 \mathrm{~s}}\)
that is, average speed = 20 ms-1
Question 7.
Define weight.
Answer:
Weight: It is the measure of the pull of Earth with which it attracts an object towards its centre.

Relate weight of an object with its mass.
Answer:
Weight of an object = W
Mass of an object = M

H. Solve the following problems
Question 21.
A girl walks a distance of 2 km in 40 minute. Find her speed.
Answer:
Distance = 2 km
1 km = 1000 m
2 km = 2 x 1000 = 2000 m
Time taken = 40 minutes
l minute = 60 seconds
40 minutes = 60 x 40 = 2400 seconds.
Question 22.
if the girl in Q. 22. walk back and covers the same distance in 50 minute. What is the average speed of the girl.
Answer:
Time taken = 50 minutes 1 minute = 60 seconds 50 minutes = 60 x 50 = 3000 seconds
Distance = 2000 m
Speed = \(\frac {2000}{3000}\) = 0. 66 ms-1
Speed in Q. 21 = 0.83
Speed in Q. 22 = 0.66
Average speed = \(\frac {0.83 + 0.66}{2}\)
= \(\frac {1.49}{2}\) = 0.74 ms-1
Question 23.
Weight of a body is 100 N. Find its mass.
Answer:
Weight =100 N
g = 10 N/kg Mass = ?
Using, weight = Mass x g
We get, Mass = \(\frac {weight}{g}\)
= \(\frac {100 N}{10 N/kg}\) = 10 kg
Question 24.
Mass of a body is 5 kg. Find its weight.
Answer:
Mass = 5 kg
g = 10 N/kg
Using, weight = Mass x g = 5 kg x 10 N/kg = 50 N
