Q2

Payel is completed her science chapter where she wrote some statements. She wants to know whether the statements are correct or not? Payel wants to take help from you:

[A]. When an object moves along a straight-line path, it is called rectilinear motion.
[B]. When an object moves along a circular path, it is called circular motion.
[C]. When an object turns or spins about a fixed axis, it is called rotational motion.
[D]. The motion which repeats itself after regular intervals of time, is called oscillatory motion.
Q3

Read the following sentences carefully, and choose the incorrect one:

[A]. The distance moved by an object in a unit time is called speed of the object.
[B]. A slow-moving object is said to have a low speed.
[C]. A fast-moving object is said to have high speed.
[D]. None of the above
Q4

In the last year board examination, Rahul were asked a question where he had to choose the statement which was/were correct? Will you be able to answer this question?

[A]. The unit of speed depends upon the unit of distance and the unit of time used.
[B]. The speed of an object can be calculated by dividing the “distance travelled” by the object, by the “time taken” to travel this distance.
[C]. The “distance traveled” divided by “time taken” actually gives us “average speed” of the car during that time.
[D]. All the above
Q5

If we denote speed by S, distance by D and time by T, the relationship between these quantities is:

[A]. S = D x T
[B]. T = S/D
[C]. S = 1 x D/ T
[D]. S = T/D
Q6

In a science quiz competition, Payel are asked a question where she had to choose the statement which was/were correct?

[A]. If we have to compare the speeds of a number of objects, then we must express the speed of all those objects in the same units.
[B]. An instrument on a vehicle dashboard which indicates the speed of the vehicle when it is running is called speedometer.
[C]. An odometer it is an instrument for measuring the distance travelled by a vehicle.
[D]. All the above
Q7

[A]. 1.6 s
[B]. 2.6 s
[C]. 3.6 s
[D]. 4.8 s
Q8

Consider the following statements and choose the incorrect one:

[A]. The distance time graph of an object moving with a uniform speed or constant speed is a straight line.
[B]. The Slope of a distance-time graph indicates the speed of the object.
[C]. The distance time graph for an object moving with non-uniform speed is a curved line.
[D]. When the distance travelled is measured in kilometers and the time taken is measured in hours then the speed will come in the unit of meter per hour.
Q9

Bikash is doing his homework which is given by his teacher. Would you help him to choose the correct sentences?

[A]. If the distance time graph of an object is a straight line then it is moving with a constant speed
[B]. If the distance time graph of an object is not a straight line or curved line than the speed of an object is not constant.
[C]. The distance time graph of an object is a horizontal line parallel to the time axis, then the speed of object is zero and the object is not moving.
[D]. All the above
Q10

Consider the following statements and choose the correct one:

[A]. Time is a moment or duration in which things occur.
[B]. In ancient times, people used some natural events which repeated regularly after fixed time, intervals to measure time.
