What this chapter covers

Class 9 Science Chapter 4 'Describing Motion' from NCERT Exploration develops kinematics. Students distinguish distance from displacement, define speed and velocity, learn average and instantaneous values, and study uniform and non-uniform motion. The three equations of motion are derived and used in numerical problems. Position-time and velocity-time graphs are introduced and read.

Here are 6 real questions students will encounter when they generate a worksheet for this chapter. Every question includes the answer.

MCQ Medium 1 mark
Which of the following is a vector quantity?
(a) Distance
(b) Speed
(c) Velocity
(d) Time
Answer: Velocity
Short Answer Medium 3 marks
Differentiate between distance and displacement.
Answer: • Distance: total path length covered; scalar.
• Displacement: shortest straight-line change in position; vector.
• Distance ≥ displacement always.
Fill in the Blank Easy 1 mark
The net change in the position of an object is called its __________.
Answer: displacement
Numerical Medium 3 marks
A car starts from rest and reaches 24 m/s in 6 s. Find (i) the average acceleration and (ii) the distance travelled in these 6 s.
Answer: • u = 0, v = 24 m/s, t = 6 s.
• a = (v − u)/t = 24/6 = 4 m/s².
• s = ut + ½at² = ½ × 4 × 6² = 72 m.
Very Short Medium 1 mark
Name the five quantities related by the kinematic equations.
Answer: Displacement (s), time (t), initial velocity (u), final velocity (v) and acceleration (a).
Long Answer Hard 5 marks
Derive/state the three equations of motion and explain what each quantity means.
Answer: The three equations of motion (uniform acceleration) are:
• v = u + at
• s = ut + ½at²
• v² = u² + 2as
Where:
• u = initial velocity
• v = final velocity
• a = acceleration
• t = time interval
• s = displacement
