11. Which of the following graph represents a situation of throwing up a ball to a certain height and its
returning back to the same initial position?

(a) (b) (c) (d)

(B) Assertion and reasoning
Mark the correct choice as:
(a) If both assertion and reason are true and reason is the correct explanation of assertion.
(b) If both assertion and reason are true but reason is not the correct explanation of assertion.
(c) If assertion is true but reason is false.
(d) If assertion is false but reason is true.
1) Assertion: The accelerated motion of an object may be due to change in magnitude of velocity or
direction or both of them.
Reason: Acceleration can be produced only by change in magnitude of the velocity. It does not depend
on the direction.
2) Assertion: The Speedometer of a car or a motorcycle measures its average speed. Reason: Average
velocity is equal to total displacement divided by total time taken.
3) Assertion: Displacement of a body may be zero when distance travelled by it is not zero.
Reason: The displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final position.
4) Assertion: When the displacement of a body is directly proportional to the square of the time. Then the
body is moving with uniform acceleration.
Reason: The slope of velocity-time graph with time axis gives acceleration
5) Assertion: Displacement of an object may be zero even if the distance covered by it is not zero.
Reason: Displacement is the shortest distance between the initial and final position.
(C) Case Study of Motion
Two trains A and B start moving at the same time. The distance travelled by them in given intervals of the
time are shown below:
Time Distance travelled by Train A distance travelled by train B
(in km) (in km)
6:00 pm 0 0
6:15 pm 10 15
6:30 pm 20 24
6:45 pm 30 32
7:00 pm 40 38
7:15 pm 50 42
7:30 pm 60 47

2. Calculate the speed of both the trains.
3. Draw the graph between distance and time for both the trains and state the nature of the graph lines.
