CHAPTER # 3
Q # 3. Can a body moving with certain velocity in the direction of east can have
acceleration in the direction of west?
Ans: Yes, a body moving with certain velocity in a direction of east can have acceleration in
the direction of west.
Example:
A car is moving towards east. If brakes are applied then its velocity will decrease and
a negative acceleration will produced. Negative acceleration will have the direction
apposite to the direction of velocity. So, in this case, direction of acceleration will be
towards west.
Q # 4. A stone of mass 2Kg is thrown in the downward direction from the roof of a
building. It reaches the surface of the earth in 2 seconds. How long a 4Kg stone will
take to reach the earth?
Ans: When two bodies lighter or heavier are dropped form a height, they reach the earth
at same time if we remove air resistance. So a body of 4kg will take the same time
as a body of 2kg.
CHAPTER # 4
Q # 2. Suppose you are running and want to stop at once. Surely you will have to produce
negative acceleration in your speed. Can you tell from where does the necessary
force come?
Ans: The force of friction between the earth and the feet will provide necessary force
which enables us to stop.
Q # 3. If a moving body has no acceleration, does it mean that no force is acting on it?
Ans: According to second law of motion: -
F = ma
as a = 0
then F = m(0)
so F = 0
It means that if a = 0 then there is zero force acting on object.
Q # 4. When you are standing on the ground how much upward force is exerted on you by
the earth? Why does this force of earth not lift you up?
Ans: The person standing on the earth exerts a force equal to his weight, this is the action
force. According to Newton‟s third law of motion the earth also exerts a force on
the person as a reaction. As these two forces are equal in magnitude but opposite in
direction. So, they cancel each other. That is why the reaction force does not lift
the person in the upward direction.

Q # 1. If vectors A and B are added, under what condition their resultant magnitude is A +
B and under what condition their resultant is zero?
Ans: When two vectors „A‟ and „B‟ are added, their resultant will be A + B. If both the
vectors are equal to each other and the angle between them is zero and are added
by vectors are equal to each other i.e. the angle between them is zero and are added
by “head to tail rule”. The resultant of two vectors will be zero when both the
vectors are anti parallel to each other and their magnitude is same. In this case
angles between these two vectors are 180 .

Q # 6. If one component of a vector A is zero along the direction of another vector B, then
in what direction the two vectors will be?
Ans: Let a vector A is acting along X-axis so, it‟s Y-component will be zero and a vector
B is acting along Y-axis. So, it‟s X-component will be zero. If these two vectors
are placed perpendicular to each other then one component of a vector will be zero
along the direction of another vector.
Q # 7. Under what condition the distance and displacement between two points will be
equal?
Ans: The distance and displacement between two points will be equal if these two points
are at the same line.
Q # 8. Can scalar and vector quantities be added by the same method? If no, describe the
method of addition of two vectors which are in different directions.
Ans: No, vectors and scalars cannot be added by the same rule. Vectors are added by a
rule called “Head to Tail Rule”. (Remaining portion on last page).

Q # 9. If you ride a bicycle and go to bazaar which is 5km away from your house to buy
some grocery and return back, then how much distance you have covered? How
much is your total displacement?
Ans: Total distance covered by the person will be 5km + 5km = 10km. As displacement
is the shortest distance between initial point and final point, so, as the person comes
back to the initial point. Therefore it‟s displacement will be zero.
CHAPTER # 6 (EQUILIBRIUM)
Q # 3. Give an example of a case when the resultant force is zero but resultant torque is not
zero.
Ans: When couple is applied on a rigid body,
then resultant force acting on it is zero,
while the resultant torque is not zero as
shown in figure because OB OA , so
torque produced by „F2‟ will be greater.
Q # 1. Why the outer edge of a road is kept higher than the inner edge at a turn?
Ans: While taking turns on a road, a car moves in a circular path. To keep the car
moving along the circular path, centripetal force is required. The force of friction
PHYSICS GRADE 9
between the tyres and road provides the necessary centripetal force and keeps the
car moving along curved path.
Q # 3. Is there any difference between the values of „g‟ at the equator and at the poles?
Ans: Earth is not completely spherical rather it is bulging at the equator. So the distance
between the surface and center of earth at equator is larger as compared to poles.
Value of „g‟ decreases by increasing the distance. Hence, the value of „g‟ is less at
equator as compared to poles.
CHAPTER # 11 (HEAT)
Q # 3. Why the diameter of iron rim round a tonga wheel is made slightly smaller.
Ans: It is due to Thermal Expansion. When someone wants to use an iron ring on the
wooden wheel of a tonga, then he mounts the iron rim on the wheel by heating. On
cooling, iron rim comes to its original position and tightly fits on the wheel.
Q # 4. Why desert nights are colder whereas the days are hot.
Ans: Specific heat of sand is very low, therefore it becomes cooler and hotter soon. Due
to this, sand becomes hotter soon due to heat of the sun and the day remains hot.
During night, sand becomes colder soon that is why the desert nights are cooler than
the days.

Q.# 5. If mass of the body is doubled while keeping the force constant. What will be the
acceleration of the body?
Ans: As we know

This shows that acceleration is inversely proportional to mass. So by keeping the force
constant, If the mass is doubled then acceleration will be one half.
Q # 7. What will be the centripetal force if mass of the body become double?
Ans: As we know,

This shows that centripetal force become double.
Q # 10. Mass of coin and stone is 10g and 100g respectively. They are dropped from
same point. What will be their acceleration? Also find their weight.
Ans:
Mass of coin = 10g = 0.01Kg
Mass of stone = 100g = 0.1Kg
Both bodies coin and stone will have same acceleration i.e. 10m/s2.
Weight of coin = mg = 0.01 x 10 = 0.1N
PHYSICS GRADE 9
Weight of stone = mg = 0.1 x 10 = 1N

By increasing effort arm M.A will increase and by increasing load arm M.A will decrease.
This equation shows that by increasing value of , M.A will decrease and vice versa, as
shown in figure.
Q # 16. We enjoy sweetened fluffy ice ball in summer. How they are made?
Ans: It is due to regulation. By increasing pressure on crushed ice its melting point
decreases and some of the pieces of ice melt. When we remove pressure the pieces of
ice refreezes again and join together to form an ice ball.
Q # 18. Why “Baba fazlo” blacken the bottom of “degchi” used in kitchen?
Ans: It is due to black body radiation. When radiation strikes the black bottom of
“degchi” it will absorb almost all the radiations in such a way larger hotness will be
absorbed by the object inside the “degchi”.
Q # 19. The insects can walk over the surface of water. Why?
Ans: It is due to surface tension. The molecules of the surface are stretched due to
intermolecular forces which are acting only for one side on molecules. That‟s why
these molecules become in state of tension which helps insects to move.
Q # 21. If you start walking forward on a wooden log floating on the surface of water,
the log starts moving in the backward direction. What is its reason?
Ans: A person walking forward on a wooden log floating on the surface of water, he
pushed the log in backward direction. According to Newton‟s third law of motion
the log pushed the person in forward direction as a reaction. So, it is due to action
and reaction forces.
Q # 23. Horse is able to pull Tonga although action and reaction of horse and Tonga are
equal?
Ans: It is due to 3rd law of motion when horse applies force on Tonga then a s a reaction
Tonga also applies equal and opposite force on the horse. But when horse applies the
force on the earth with his feet the force of friction is produced. As a reaction the
earth applied force and Tonga moved forward.
Q # 24. A person with a bucket of water in one hand bends in opposite directions?
Ans: It is due to centre of gravity when a person walks then its weight passes through his
base and is in equilibrium. But when he picks a bucket of water in one hand then his
centre of gravity is shifted towards the bucket. Which doesn‟t pass through his foot
hence he bends him self in opposite direction to maintain his equilibrium.
Q # 28. When a wire is bent back and forth many times becomes warm?
PHYSICS GRADE 9
Ans: It is the phenomenon of molecular structure of the substance. When we bend a wire
by applying some force then intermolecular distance increases many times. This
function increases the K.E of the molecules. Hence the wire becomes warm.
Q # 31. The climate of costal regions remains same throughout the year?
Ans: This is due to convection. Earth heats up during day time and the air on it is heated
also. This heated air goes up. To compensate this deficiency cold air from the sea
rushes towards the land and the temperature becomes moderate similarly at night
the temperature of land near sea falls. But the temperature of water doesn‟t falls.
Q # 38. An athlete runs for some time before jumping over a long distance.
Ans: It is due to first law of motion. Inertia of the motion of his body at time of jump
helps him to jump through greater distance.
Q # 43. A boat man pushes the bank with bamboo stick before taking it into river.
Ans: This is due to third law of motion. The man pushes the bank and as a reaction the
boat is pushed forwards into the river.
Q # 49. While turning his plane the pilot tilts the outer wing in upward direction.
Ans: It is due to centripetal force. While turning a plane move along a circular path and
requires centripetal force. The pilot tilts the outer wing in upward direction so that
the difference of air pressure between the wings may provide necessary centripetal
force.
Q # 51. The passengers are nearly thrown out when the bus takes turn.
Ans: When a body moves in a circular path the direction of velocity is along the tangents
to the circle. When the bus takes turn the passengers move along the tangents and
feel as if they will be thrown of the bus.

Q # 52. It is difficult to shut the door if we push it at a point near the hinge.
Ans: It is due to principle of lever. According to the principle of lever if the force arm is
small more force is required by applying force near the hinge the force arm
decreases and more force is required to shut the door.
Q # 58. Speed of bullet is more than the speed of gun when it recoils.
PHYSICS GRADE 9
Ans: It is according to the law of conservation of momentum. Before firing the
momentum of both gun and bullet is aero. After firing the bullet moves forward
with great speed but its mass is very less. As a reaction the gun moves backward
with less velocity as its mass is greater. Their momentum is equal and opposite and
momentum of bullet and gun is zero again.
