Periodic Test-1 (2025-26)

CLASS IX

Subject:- Physics
NAME: CLASS & SEC.:

DURATION: 1 HOUR 20 MINS. MAXIMUM MARKS: 40

General Instruction: All questions are compulsory

Section-A: {1 mark each}

1. A body whose position with respect to surrounding does not change, is said to be in a state of

(A) Rest (B) Motion (C) Vibration (D) Oscillation

2. What is the scalar quantity that represents the rate of change of distance with respect to time?

(A) Velocity (B) Speed (C) Acceleration (D) Displacement

3. In Motion, what is the vector quantity that represents both the magnitude and direction of the

motion?

(A) Speed (B) Distance (C) Velocity (D) Acceleration

4. If both observer and moving body are moving with the same velocity of 5m/s in the same direction

then distance between them would:

(A) Increase (B) Decreases (C) Won't change (D) may or may not change

5. The numerical ratio of displacement to distance is

(A) Always less than one (B) Always equal to one (C) Always more than one (D) Equal to or less

than one

6. Vector quantities are those which defined completely only if:


(A) Both magnitude and direction given (B) Only direction is given (C) Only magnitude is given (D)

None of these

7. In uniform motion in a straight line, what can be said about the acceleration of the object?

(A) It is zero (B) It is constant (C) It is continuously changing (D) It is negative

8. Which of the following is not a vector?

(A) Speed (B) Velocity (C) Weight (D) Acceleration

9. Which of the following is not a characteristic of displacement:

(A) It is always positive (B) It has both magnitude and direction (C) It can be zero (D) Its magnitude

is less than or equal the actual path length of the object.

10. What is the relationship between distance travelled and displacement in a straight line motion:

(A) They are always equal (B) Displacement is greater than distance (C) Displacement is greater

than (D) They are unrelated

Section-B: {2 marks each}

1. A car travels 100 m at a speed of 20 m/s. Sketch a distance-time graph to show the motion of the

car.

2. State whether speed is a scalar or a vector quantity. Give reason for your choice.

3. Bus X travels a distance of 360 km in 5 hours whereas bus Y travels a distance of 476 km in 7

hours. Which bus travels faster?

4. Arrange the following speeds in increasing order (keeping the least speed first):

(i) An athlete running with a speed of 10 m/s.

(ii) A bicycle moving with a speed of 200 m/min.

(iii) A scooter moving with a speed of 30 km/h.


Section-C: {3 marks each}

1. (a) What is the difference between 'distance travelled' by a body and its 'displacement'? Explain

with the help of a diagram.

(b) An ant travels a distance of 8 cm from P to Q and then moves a distance of 6 cm at right angles

to PQ. Find its resultant displacement.

2. Give examples in each case:

(a) The speed of an object has the same value as its velocity.

(b) The displacement of an object from its starting point is often not the same as the distance

travelled.

(c) The displacement of an object at the end of a journey can never be greater than the distance

travelled.

3. A train travels the first 15 km at a uniform speed of 30 km/h; the next 75 km at a uniform speed of

50 km/h; and the last 10 km at a uniform speed of 20 km/h. Calculate the average speed for the

entire train journey.

Section-D: {4 marks each}

1. (i) An aeroplane taxies on the runway for 30 s with an acceleration of 3.2 m/s² before taking off.

How much distance would it have covered on the runway?

(ii) When a car moves at a constant speed along a straight road, it covers equal distances in equal

intervals of time. This type of motion is called uniform motion, and the speed of the car remains the

same throughout. In a distance-time graph, a straight line indicates uniform motion, and a curve

shows non-uniform motion. The slope of the graph gives speed.

Suppose a truck travels 60 kilometre in first hour and 80 kilometre in second hour.

(a) What is average speed of Truck?

2. A ball is dropped onto the floor from a height of 20m. It rebounds to a height of 10m. If the ball is

in contact with the floor for 0.1 second, what is the average acceleration during the contact?
