SUMMER BREAK ASSIGNMENT
SUBJECT – SCIENCE (PHYSICS)
1. A particle moves over three quarters of a circle of radius r cm. Calculate
the magnitude of its distance and displacement.
2. On a 120 km long railway track, a train travels the first 80 km at a
uniform speed of 160 km/h. Calculate the speed with which the train
should move on the rest of the track so as to get the average speed of 80
km/h for the entire trip.
3. Name the physical quantities denoted by:
(i) the slope of the distance–time graph
(ii) the area under velocity–time graph
(iii) the slope of velocity–time graph
4. A ball thrown up vertically returns to the thrower after 6 seconds. Find:
(a) The velocity with which it was thrown up.
(b) The maximum height it reaches. (c) Its position after 4 s
5. The brakes applied to a car produce an acceleration of 6 m/s² in the
opposite direction to the motion. If the car takes 2 s to stop after the
application of brakes, calculate the distance it travels during this time.
6. A bridge is 500 m long. A 100 m long train crosses the bridge at a speed
of 30 m/s. Find the time taken by train to cross it.
7. A motor cycle moving with a speed of 5 m/s obtains an acceleration of
0.2 m/s². Calculate the speed of the motor cycle after 10 seconds, and
the distance travelled by it in this time.
8. A train starts from rest and accelerates uniformly for 30 s to acquire a
velocity of 108 km/h. It travels with this velocity for 20 min. The driver
now applies brakes and the train retards uniformly to stop after 20 s.
Find the total distance covered by the train.
9. What is the momentum of a toy car of mass 200 g moving with a speed
of 5 m/s ?
10. Define SI unit of force. A force of 2N acting on a body changes its
velocity uniformly from 2 m/s to 5 m/s in 10s. Calculate the mass of the
body.
11. Which is having higher value of momentum? A bullet of mass 10 g
moving with a velocity of 400 m/s or a cricket ball of mass 400 g thrown
with the speed of 90 km/h
12. A ball is gently dropped from a height of 20 m. If its velocity increases
uniformly at the rate of 10 m/s², with what velocity will it strike the
ground? After what time will it strike the ground?
13. How much momentum will a dumb-bell of mass 10 kg transfer to the
floor if it falls from a height of 80 cm? Take its downward acceleration to
be 10 m/s²
14. An object of mass 100 kg is accelerated uniformly from a velocity of 5
m/s to 8 m/s in 6 s. Calculate the initial and final momentum of the
object. Also, find the magnitude of the force exerted on the object.
15. A cricket ball of mass 70 g moving with a velocity of 0.5 m/s is stopped
by a player in
0.5 s. What is the force applied by the player to stop the ball?
