LEARNING PLANET STUDY CENTERE – XI PHYSICS – MODEL QUESTIONS

Two statements are given-one labelled Assertion (A) and the other labelled Reason (R). Select the
correct answer to these questions from the codes (a), (b), (c) and (d) as given below.

a) Both A and R are true and R is the correct explanation of A

b) Both A and R are true and R is NOT the correct explanation of A

c) A is true but R is false

d) A is false and R is also false

1. Assertion: A particle having constant acceleration must always move on a straight line.
Reason: When magnitude of acceleration is constant, then speed of particle may remain
constant.
2. Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the longest distance between initial and final position.
3. Assertion: The average speed of a body over a given interval of time is equal to the average
velocity of the body in the same interval of time if a body moves in a straight line in one
direction.
Reason: Because, in this case distance travelled by a body is equal to the displacement of the
body.
4. Assertion: In the motion of projectile, the horizontal component of velocity remains constant
Reason: The force on the projectile is gravitational force which acts only in vertically
downwards direction.
5. Assertion: Horizontal range is same for angle of projection θ and (90 – θ).
Reason: Horizontal range is independent of angle of projection.
6. Assertion: If there were no gravitational force, the path of the projected body always be
straight line
Reason: Gravitational force makes the path of projected body always parabolic

CASE BASED QUESTIONS

1. When an object follows a circular path at a constant speed, the motion of the object is called
uniform circular motion. The word “uniform” refers to the speed, which is uniform (constant)
throughout the motion. Suppose an object is moving with uniform speed v in a circle of radius R
Since the velocity of the object is changing continuously in direction, the object undergoes
acceleration. Let us find the magnitude and the direction of this acceleration. Thus, the acceleration
of an object moving with speed v in a circle of radius R has a magnitude V 2 /R and is always directed
towards the centre. This is why this acceleration is called centripetal acceleration (a term proposed
by Newton).

i) SI unit of angular velocity is

a) red/sec b) m/s c) m/s2 d) None of these

ii) A centripetal acceleration is not a constant vector. True or false?

a) True b) False

iii)Name the physical quantity which remains same in an uniform circular motion

iv) Centripetal acceleration can be mathematically expressed as

v) If both speed of a body and radius of the circular path are doubled, what will be the change in
centripetal force ?

2. When an object moves along a straight line with uniform acceleration, it is possible to relate its
velocity, acceleration during motion and the distance covered by it in a certain time interval by a set
of equations known as the equations of motion. For convenience, a set of three such equations are
given below:

Where u is the initial velocity of the object which moves with uniform acceleration a for time t, v is
the final velocity and s is the distance travelled by the object in time t.

i) Equation of motions are applicable to motion with

a) uniform acceleration c) non uniform acceleration b) constant velocity d) none of these

ii) The distance travelled by a body is directly proportional to the square of time taken its
acceleration

a) increases b)decreases c) becomes zero d) remains constant

iii) The brakes applied to a car produce an acceleration of 10 m/s2 in the opposite direction to the
motion. If the car takes 1 s to stop after the application of brakes, calculate the distance travelled
during this time by car.

iv) An object is dropped from a tower falls with a constant acceleration of 10 m/s2. Find its speed 10 s
after it was dropped.

v) A bullet hits a target with a velocity of 10 m/s and penetrates it up to a distance of 5 m. Find the
deceleration of the bullet in the target
