Question 7.
Take the objects which move on straight line motion and pair them and then classify their speed as slow or fast in given following table in two separate columns.
Table : Slow and fast motion

Question 8.
How have you ensured which object is moving slowly and which is moving fast?
When the object moves fast. then we say,that the speed of the object is more and when object moves slowly then we say that the speed is less. To know, which object is moving faster among two or more objects. the simplest method is to calculate the distance covered b the objects in unit time.

Question 1.
A simple pendulum takes 80 second to complete 40 oscillations. What is the time period of the pendulum?
According to question : Number of oscillations (N) =40
Time taken for oscillations (t) = 80 seconds
Hence. Time period of pendulum (T) = $$\frac { l }{ N }$$
T = $$\frac { 80 }{ 40 }$$ second.
T = 2 seconds

Question 2.
The distance between two stations is 100 km. A bus takes 2 hours to cover this distance. Calculate the speed of the bus.
According to question : Distance between two stations = loo km, (or distance covered)
Time taken to cover the distance = 2 Hours.
Hence. speed of bus =

Speed of bus = $$\frac { 100 }{ 2 }$$ km/hours
Speed of bus = 50 km/hour.

Question 2.
What do you mean by simple pendulum? Explain its time-period.
Simple Pendulum:
The oscillation that is produced b a small metallic ball or a piece of stone suspended from rigid support by a thread is called a simple pendulum. The small metal sphere is known as ball for simple pendulum.

Time period of simple pendulum:
Static simple pendulum is at rest position. It is the mean position of pendulum. When the bob of pendulum is to either side from rest position and released slowly, it begins to move to and fro. This motion is called oscillatory motion. As shown in figure. as the pendulum. starting from its mean position O. moves to A, from A to B and back from B to A is said to have completed one oscillation. Hence. Time taken by the pendulum to complete one oscillation is called periodic time of simple pendulum.

What is difference between modern watch and ancient watch? Draw a diagram of a digital clock.
1. Ancient watches –
It was not possible to measure time at micro level by using ancient watches. Also these watches were less significant for scientific researches and were less useful in measuring time for micro level.

2. Modern watches –
Now a days. quartz watches. digital watches are available whose measurement is more accurate. Excepts these. today specific clocks are available for use in scientific research. Among them few are able to measure ten millionth fraction of one second (micro second) and also one trillionth part of a second (nano second).

Question 11.
State different units of speed. Also tell how they are written.
The international unit of speed is meter per second. The other units of speed arc as follows –

1. Centimeter per second (cm/s)
2. Kilometer per second (Km/s)
3. Kilometer per hour (Km/h) etc.

You must remember that all the symbols of units are written in singular person. For example – For distance we write 80 Km, not 80 Kms.

Question 12.
Calculate number of seconds in one day.
We know that
1 day = 24 Hours
1 Hours =60 Minute
1 Minute = 60 Second
Thus, 1 hour contains 3600 second (60 x 60) and in 24 hour – 24 x 3600 second so. 86400 second
Hence. 1 day (24 Hours) contain 86400 second
