Question 1
If an object in the diagram is replaced by a series of single points, which type of diagram are you referring?
Motion diagram
Particle model
Coordinate system
Position-time graph

2. Chapter Assessment Questions2
Answer 1
Answer: B
Reason: A particle model is a simplified version of a motion diagram in which the object in motion is replaced by a series of single points.

Question 2
Refer the adjoining figure and calculate the distance between the two signals?
Insert graph
3 m
8 m
5 m
5 cm

4. Chapter Assessment Questions2
Answer 2
Answer: C
Reason: Distance d = df – di
Here, df = 8 m and di = 3 m
Therefore, d = 8 m  3 m = 5 m

Question 3
From the adjacent position-time graph determine the distance covered by the competitor between 5 s and 10 s?

6. Chapter Assessment Questions2
Answer 3
Answer: The distance covered by the competitor between 5 s and 10 s is d = 20 m – 10 m = 10 m.

Question 4
A car starting from rest moves with an average speed of 6 m/s. Use Equation of Motion for average velocity to calculate the distance the car traveled in 1 minute.
6 m
10 m
60 m
360 m

8. Chapter Assessment Questions2
Answer 4
Answer: D
Reason: The Equation of Motion for average velocity is d = vt + di where d is the object’s position at time t of the object moving with average velocity v, and di is the initial position of the object. In this case di = 0, v = 6 m/s and t = 1 min = 60 s. Therefore d = (6 m/s)(60 s) + 0 m = 360 m.

Question 5
The position-time graph at right shows three ships moving in a river. Determine which ship has greater average velocity?
Ship A
Ship B
Ship C
Both ship B and C

10. Chapter Assessment Questions2
Answer 5
Answer: A
Reason: The slope of A is steeper than the slopes of B and C. A steeper slope indicates a greater change in displacement during each time interval, i.e. greater average velocity.

6. A squirrel descends an 8-m tree at a constant speed in 1.5 min. It remains still at the base of the tree for 2.3 min, and then walks toward an acorn on the ground for 0.7 min. A loud noise causes the squirrel to scamper back up the tree in 0.1 min to the exact position on the branch from which it started. Which of the graphs shown on the next slide would accurately represent the squirrel’s vertical displacement from the base of the tree?
