30.
Name some objects having periodic motion.
31.
You have seen your father playing violin.While playing it, you observed that the strings. Are creating the sound.Can you tell due to what motion it si giving the sound?
1.
Distance is actually defined as length or space between two places. It is clear from the diagram that when we whirl the stone, the space or length between points A and B, i.e. between hand and stone does not change.
Hence, distance is same.
2.
Accurate scale r-eading begins from zero as shown below

But here the reading on scale begins with 3 cm
Thus, the error in the scale = 3 cm- 0 cm= 3 cm
Now, the other end on the scale reads = 33.1cm
Thus, the actual length of the needle = (Reading on the other end - Error reading of first end)
= 33.1 cm - 3 cm = 30.1 cm
3.
There are mainly three modes of transport which are given below:
(i) Land transports Those transports that run on land are called land transports, e.g. bus and truck.
(ii) Water transports Those transports that run on water are called water transports, e.g. boat and ship.
(iii) Air transports Those transports that run in air are called air transports, e.g. aeroplane and helicopter.
4.
The two examples of a periodic motion are motion of a pendulum and motion of a child on a swing.
5.
Bullock cart, camel cart etc
6.
Example of rotational motion is the motion of earth about its axis.
7.
The motion exhibited by a freely falling stone is rectilinear motion

Elastic tapes are stretchable due to which their length can be increased during the measurement if it is not handle with care. Therefore, the measurement done by elastic tapes may be greater than the actual length of the object. So, we can say that elastic tapes are not accurate to measure a length.
29.
While travelling, trees near the track same to be moving back (i.e. opposite to the direction of motion of a train) because there is a relative motion between outside trees and moving train. While in case of co-passengers, the relative motion between we and co-passengers, is zero, so it appears to be stationary.
