Motion in a straight Line
3.7. The variation of quantity A with quantity B, plotted in the figure. Describe the
motion of a particle in a straight line.
Ans. (a, c, d,): If B represents velocity then graph become ( the v-t graph is a straight line so it
is uniformly accelerated motion, so motion is not uniform. Verifies option (a), (d).
If B represents time and A represents displacement, then graph become (s-t) graph. Here s-t
graph is a straight line which represents uniform motion, so verifies the option (c).
3.8. A graph of x versus t shown in x figure. Choose correct alternatives from below.
Ans. (a, c, e,): Main concept used: Slope of x-t graph gives
At A graph (x-t) is parallel to the time axis, so is zero or particle is at rest. After A,
Tangent at B and C is a graph (x-t), that is parallel to the time axis, so or v=0.
It implies that acceleration a=0 so it discards option (b) and verifies the option (c).
From graph the slope at D is greater than at E. So speed at D is greater than at E. Verifies the
option (e).
Explanation:
V=
A=
vmax =1 – (-1) =2
vmin =1-1=0
X = t – sin t
when t=0;v=0
when t= ;v=1
when t= ;v=2
when t= ;v=0
a=sin t
when t=0;a=0
when t= ;a=-1
when t= ;a=0
when t= ;a=-1
3.10. A spring with one end attached to a mass m and other end to a rigid support is
stretched and released.
Explanation:
Consider a spring of spring constant k is attached to mass m at one end and another end is
fixed at right support. Spring is lying on a frictionless table.
Now spring is stretched by a force F by x displacement then F=-kx (-) sign shows that
displacement x is opposite to the direction of force applied, when a force F acts on spring,
spring also applies equally to opposite force.
a=
At x=0; a=0
At x=x; a=
So (b) is incorrect
when the mass (m) is at its maximum displacement then it returns at this point
3.11. A ball is bouncing elastically with a speed of 1m/s between walls of a railway
compartment of size 10m in the direction perpendicular to walls. The train is moving at
a constant speed of 10m/s parallel to the direction of motion of the ball. As seen from
the ground,
(c) average speed of the ball over any 20 seconds interval is fixed
Main concept used: Motion of ball with respect to observer and relative velocity of body .
Explanation:
As the motion is observed from ground, time to strike ball with walls will be after every 10
seconds.As, the ball is moving with very small speed in the moving train,the direction of ball
is same as that of train.Hence direction of motion of ball does not change with respect to
observer on Earth
But, speed of ball changes after collision so option (a) is incorrect and (b) is correct.
Speed of ball changes when it strike to wall initial speed of ball in the direction of moving
train with respect to ground=VTG=10+1=11m/s.
Speed of ball after collision with side of train =VBG (opposite to the direction of train)
=10-1=9m/s.
