1. What is the total distance traveled by the person? North
2. What is his displacement?
1. Total distance = OA + AB
= 4m + 3m
Total distance = 7m

2. Total displacement = OB = $$\sqrt{(O A)^{2}+(A B)^{2}}$$
=$$\sqrt{(4)^{2}+(3)^{2}}$$ = $$\sqrt{25}$$ = 5
Displacement = 5 m

Question 9.
A person travels on a semi-circular track of radius 50 m during a morning walk. If he starts from one end of the track and reaches the other end, calculates the distance traveled and displacement of the person.
Let the person start moving from A and reach B via O.
The distance travelled by the person
= Length of track = πr
= $$\frac{22}{7}$$ x 50 m = 157.14m
Distance = 157.14 m
The displacement is equal to the diameter of the semi-circular track joining A to B via O.
= 2r = 2 x 50 m = 100m
∴ Displacement = 100 m

Question 10.
Dinesh takes 20 minutes to cover a distance of 5 km on a bicycle. Calculate his average speed in
1. m/s
2. km/h
1. Average speed in metre/second
Distance travelled by Dmesh = 5 km = 5 x 1000 m = 5000 m
time taken (t) = 20 min = 20 x 60 seconds = 1200 seconds

2. Average speed in kilometre/hour

Given,
initial velocity, u = 0 m/s

### Motion Class 9 Extra Questions Long Answer Type

Question 1.
Derive an expression for three equations of motion for uniform accelerated motion graphically.
Equation of motion by graphical method
Let us consider a body is moving with acceleration where u is initial velocity and u is final velocity, s is the displacement of object and t is a time interval.

1. υ = u + at
We know that slope of υ – t graph gives acceleration so slope
= a = $$\frac{v-u}{t-0}$$
a = $$\frac{v-u}{t}$$
∴ υ = u + at

2. s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ at2
We know that area under u – t graph gives the displacement.
Area = s = area of triangle CDE + area of rectangle ABCE
s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x t x (υ – u) from (υ – u = at)
Putting the value of υ – u
s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ at2

3. υ2 – u2 = 2as
We know that area under υ – t graph gives displacement
Area = s = area of trapezium ABDE
s = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x (υ+u) x t From I (t = $$\frac{υ – u}{a}$$)
Putting the value of t.
υ2 – u2 = 2as

### Motion Class 9 Extra Questions HOTS

Question 1.
The distance-time graph of two trains is given below. The trains start simultaneously in the
same direction.
1. How much ahead of A is B when the motion starts?
2. What is the speed of B ?
3. When and where will A catch B?
4. What is the difference between speeds of A and B?

5. Is the speed of both the trains uniform or non-uniform? Justify your answer.

1. 100km
2. Speed of B, υ = $$\frac{x_{2}-x_{1}}{t}$$ = $$\frac{150-100}{2-0}$$ = 25 km/h
3. After 2 hours, A catches B at 2. i.e.,150 km from origin 0.
4. The slope of the distance-time graph of A is greater than that of B. Therefore, the speed of A is greater than
speed B. Speed of A = Slope of OQ = $$\frac{150}{2}$$ = 75 km/h
Difference between speed of A and B =75 km/h – 25 km/h = 50 km/h
5. The speed of both trains is uniform.

Question 2.
A car starts from rest and moves along the x-axis with constant acceleration 5 ms2 for 8 seconds. If it then continues with constant velocity, what distance will the car cover in 12 seconds since it started from rest?
Given,
u = 0, a = 5ms-2, t1 = 8s and t2 = 12s.
Total distance = distance travelled during acceleration + distance travelled during constant velocity
s = s1 + s2

For S1
s1 = u1t1 + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ $$a t_{1}^{2}$$
s1 = $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x 5 x (8)2
s1 = 160 m

For S1
Applying υ = u + at
υ = 0 + (5 x 8)
u = 40 m/s
s1 = ut2
s2 = 40 x 12
s2 = 480 m
Total distance, s = s1 + s2
s = 160 + 480 = 640m

Question 3.
An object is dropped from rest at a height of 150 m and simultaneously another object is dropped from rest at a height 100 m. What is the difference in their heights after 2s if both the objects drop with the same acceleration? How does the difference in heights vary with time?
At t = 0, difference in heights of two stones A and B
= 150 – 100 = 50 m
In t = 2s, distance through which each stone falls is –
s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ at2 = 0 x $$\frac{1}{2}$$ x 10 x (2)2 = 20m
∴ Difference in heights of two stones A and B
= (150 – 20) – (100 – 20) = 50
The difference in heights will remain the same at all times during their fall.

Question 4.
An object starting from rest travels 20 m in the first 2s and 160 m in the next 4s. What will be the velocity after 7s from the start?
Given, the object travels 20 m first 2 s and 160 m in the next 4s.
From s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ at2
In first 2 s, s = 20 m
20 = 0 + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ a(2)2
20 = 2 a
∴ a = 10 m/s2
Velocity at the end of 2s is υ = u + at
υ = 0 + 10 x 2 = 20 m/s

In next 4 s,
s = ut + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ a’t2
160 = 20 x 4 + $$\frac{1}{2}$$ a’(4)2
80 = 8 a’
a’ = 10 m/s2
