22.
Paheli moves on a straight road from point A to point G. She takes 20 min to cover a certain distance AB and 30 min to cover the rest of distance BG. She then turns back and takes 30 min to cover the distance GB and 20 min to cover the rest of the distance to her starting point. She makes 5 rounds on the road of the same way. Paheli concludes that her motion is
only rectilinear motion
only periodic motion
rectilinear and periodic motion
neither rectilinear nor periodic
23.
Figure shows a measuring scale which is usually supplied with a geometry box. Which of the following distance cannot be measured with this scale by using it only once?

0.1 m
0.15m
0.2 m
0.05 m
24.

26.
Boojho was riding in his bicycle along a straight road. He classified the motion of various parts of the bicycle as (a) rectilinear motion (b) circular motion and (c) both rectilinear as well as circular motion. Can you list one part of the bicycle for each type of motion? Support your answer with reason.
27.
It is not accurate to measure a length with elastic tapes. Explain why.
1.
(a) Kanchan is intelligent, helping and has good knowledge of subject.
(b) One correct way for measuring from broken scale is to start from full marks.
2.
The earth performs two types of motion. One of the motions is when it moves around the sun, then it is said to possess circular motion and on the other hand, it also rotates about its own axis called rotational motion.
3.
We need standard unit of measurements because the unit like handspan, foot, cubit differ from person to person or even indifferent countries. So, for a uniform measurement, standard unit of measurement is really required.
4.
Yes, a person driving a car is in rest with respect to other person in car but in motion with respect to a person standing roadside. State of motion and rest depends upon observer or reference point.
5.
Similarities are given below

(i) The wheels of a bicycle and a ceiling fan execute a rotational motion on a fixed axis.
(ii) The particles of both exhibit circular motion except the particles at the centre.
Differences are given below
(i) Bicycle changes its position while exhibiting circular motion but a ceiling fan does not change its position.
(ii) Bicycle can execute rectilinear motion with translational motion but ceiling fan does not execute rectilinear motion.
6.
An object is said to be at rest when it does not change its position with time. While an object is said to be in motion when it changes its position with time.
7.
By marking 1/2, 1/4and 1/8 of string length
8.
By measuring distance by a particular standard unit of measurement.

26.
(a) Rectilinear motion The handle of bicycle will always move in rectilinear path because it cannot do circular or rotatory motion.
(b) Circular motion The Paddles of bicycle will always move circularly around its chain fixing system because it cannot move in forward direction without the whole chain system.
(c) Both rectilinear and circular The wheels of bicycle will move in rectilinear as well as in circular motion because the wheel as a whole will move forward and its point or particles around the rim will execute circular motion.
27.
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.
