Important Questions for NIOS - ODE & PE

Q1. Is it possible for a moving body to have non-zero average speed but zero average velocity during any given interval of time? If so, explain.

Q2. A lady drove to the market at a speed of 8 km h–1. Finding market closed, she came back home at a speed of 10 km h–1. If the market is 2km away from her home, calculate the average velocity and average speed.

Q3. Can a moving body have zero relative velocity with respect to another body? Give an example.

Q4. A person strolls inside a train with a velocity of 1.0 m s–1 in the direction of motion of the train. If the train is moving with a velocity of 3.0 m s–1, calculate his
(a) velocity as seen by passengers in the compartment, and (b) velocity with respect to a person sitting on the platform.

Q5. A body starting from rest covers a distance of 40 m in 4s with constant acceleration along a straight line. Compute its final velocity and the time required to cover half of the total distance.

Q6. A car moves along a straight road with constant aceleration of 5 ms–2. Initially at 5m, its velocity was 3 ms–1 Compute its position and velocity at t = 2 s.

Q7. With what velocity should a body be thrown vertically upward so that it reaches a height of 25 m? For how long will it be in the air?

Q8. A ball is thrown upward in the air. Is its acceleration greater while it is being thrown or after it is thrown?

Q9. Distinguish between average speed and average velocity.

Q10. A car C moving with a speed of 65 km h–1 on a straight road is ahead of motorcycle M moving with the speed of 80 km h–1 in the same direction. What is the velocity of M relative to A?

Q11. How long does a car take to travel 30m, if it accelerates from rest at a rate of 2.0 m s2?

Q12. A motorcyclist covers half of the distance between two places at a speed of 30 km h–1 and the second half at the speed of 60 kmh–1. Compute the average speed of the motorcycle.
