MCQ Questions for Class 9 Physics Motion Quiz 2

Q.1.

A skier starting from rest accelerates down a slope at

$1.6\ ms^{-2}$ . How far has he gone at the end of

$5\ s$ ?

25%
$20\ m$
38%
$40\ m$
25%
$15\ m$
12%
$60\ m$

Explanation

Given:

Initial velocity:

$u=0\ m/s$

Acceleration:

$a = 1.6\ m/s^2$

Time:

$t = 5\ s$

Using second equation of motion,

$s = ut + \cfrac{1}{2} at^{2}$

$s = 0 + \cfrac{1}{2} \times 1. 6 \times 25$

$s = 20\ m$

Q.2.

Slope of distance-time graph of a moving body is equal to

14%
velocity of the body
86%
speed of the body
0%
acceleration of the body
0%
none of these

Explanation

Speed of a body

$=$ slope of the distance-time graph of the body

$tan\theta=\frac{y}{x}=speed of a body$
Here x,y are co-ordinates distance of distance- time graph.
Hence,option B is correct.

Q.3.

In Figure as shown above BC represents a body moving:

43%
backward with uniform velocity
0%
forward with uniform velocity
29%
backward with non-uniform velocity
29%
forward with non-uniform velocity

Explanation

Velocity of an object from displacement-time graph is given by its slope.

ie

$\dfrac{dy}{dt}=V$ so slope from B to C is constant and negative so body is moving backward and with a constant velocity.

so best possible option is option A.

Q.4.

A stone is dropped in the river from a bridge. The stone takes 1 second to touch the water surface in the river. What is the height of the bridge from the water level?

0%
9.8 m
50%
19.6 m
50%
4.9 m
0%
1.96 m

Explanation

When particle is dropped from bridge the initial velocity

$u$ is zero.

Let the height of bridge from water level is

$h$

Then the displacement traveled by particle is

$h$ .

Acceleration is

$g=9.8 \ m/s^2$ downwards.

Then applying second equation of motion:

$s=ut+\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } a{ t }^{ 2 }$ where

$a=g$ and

$u=0$

then,

$h=\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } g{ (1) }^{ 2 }=\dfrac { 1 }{ 2 } \times 9.8=4.9m$

Thus, option C is correct.

Q.5.

From the equation of motion

$v=u+at$ we get,

25%
True
75%

Q.17.

The ratio of SI units to CGS units of retardation is

33%
$\displaystyle { 10 }^{ -2 }$
67%
$\displaystyle { 10 }^{ 2 }$
0%
$\displaystyle 10$
0%
$\displaystyle { 10 }^{ -1 }$

Explanation

SI unit of retardation is

$ms^{-2}$ and CGS unit is

$cms^{-2}$ .

Also, we know that

$1 \ m = 100 \ cm$

Thus ratio,

$ratio = \dfrac{ms^{-2}}{cms^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow ratio = \dfrac{100\ cm\ s^{-2}}{cm\ s^{-2}}$

$\Rightarrow ratio = 10^2$

Q.18.

A scooter increases its speed from 36 km/h to 72 km/h in 10 s. What is its acceleration?

0%
${7.2 m/s^2}$
100%
${1 m /s^2}$
0%
${3.6 m/s^2}$
0%
${10 m/s^2}$

Explanation

in the given question we have
u=36 km/hr =

$36 \times \frac{5}{18}m/s=10 m/s$
v= 72 km/hr=

$72 \times \frac{5}{18}m/s=20 m/s$
t=10 s
a=?
we know the formula
v= u +at
20 = 10+ a 10
20-10 =10 a
10 = 10 a
a = 1

$m/s^{2}$

Q.19.

What is the velocity of vertically projected body at its maximum height (h)?

0%
$\displaystyle \sqrt { 2\ gh }$
100%
zero
0%
$\displaystyle \frac { { h }^{ 2 } }{ g }$
0%
$\displaystyle \sqrt { \frac { 2h }{ g } }$

Explanation

When particle is at maximum height it's Potential energy =

$mgh$

also maximum .

But when it was at ground it's Potential energy =

$0$

It means all of it's Kinetic energy at ground was converted into Potential energy at top most point so Kinetic energy at top point=

$0$

$\frac{mv^2}{2}=0$

so

$v=0$

Hence velocity at maximum height=

$0$

Constant speed
33%
Zero velocity
0%

When the distance an object travels is directly proportional to time, it is said to travel with Constant Speed.

$Speed = \dfrac{distance \ travelled}{time}$

Q.27.

A body suffers retardation of

$1 m{s}^{-2}$ means

0%
its velocity increases by $1 m{s}^{-1}$ per second
0%
its velocity remains constant
100%
its velocity decreases by $1 m{s}^{-1}$ per second
0%
none of these

Explanation

Acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time. Positive acceleration means increase in velocity with time and negative acceleration means decrease in velocity per unit time . Negative acceleration is also called retardation.

So retardation means rate of decrease of velocity per second.
So, retardation of

$1 m{s}^{-2}$ = decrease of

$1 m{s}^{-1}$ velocity per second.

Q.40.

A jeep is accelerating uniformly in a straight line with

$5 m/s^2$ . Calculate the time required to cover a distance of 200 m if jeep starts from rest :

100%
9.0 s
0%
10.5 s
0%

15.5 s
0%
20.0 s

Explanation

Given :

$S = 200m$ ,

$a = 5 m/s^2$ ,

$u = 0$

Using

$2^{nd}$ equation of motion,

$s = ut + \dfrac{1}{2}at^2$

$\therefore$

$200 = 0 + \dfrac{1}{2}\times 5t^2$

$\Rightarrow t^2 = \cfrac{200\times 2}{5}$

$\implies t \approx 9$ s

Explanation

Acceleration is defined as the rate of change of velocity.

acceleration

$a = \dfrac{change \ in \ velocity}{time \ interval}$

Hence, any change in the speed or direction would cause a change in velocity, and hence will produce acceleration.

So, the correct option is A.

Explanation

We know,

$speed=\dfrac{distance}{time}$

If time is constant, then speed will depend on distance travelled.

Consider a time interval from

$t_1$ to

$t_2$ .

The distance travelled by

$car\ 1$ is greatest, followed by

$car\ 2$ and

$car\ 4$ .

The distance travelled by

$car\ 3$ and

$car\ 4$ is

$0$ .

$\therefore$ The descending order of their speed is

$1 \gt 2\gt 4\gt 3=5$
