Motion and Its Types MCQs with Answers & Explanations
Q1. What is motion?
- Standing still
- Change in position with time ✓ (correct)
- Staying in one place
- No movement
Q2. What is speed?
- Direction of motion
- Distance covered per unit time ✓ (correct)
- Change in position
- Velocity with direction
Q3. What is the SI unit of speed?
- km/h
- m/s ✓ (correct)
- cm/s
- miles/hour
Q4. What is the difference between distance and displacement?
- Same thing
- Distance is path length; displacement is straight-line change in position ✓ (correct)
- Displacement is longer
- Distance considers direction
Q5. What is uniform motion?
- Changing speed
- Constant speed in same direction ✓ (correct)
- No motion
- Accelerated motion
Q6. What is non-uniform motion?
- Constant speed
- Variable speed or direction ✓ (correct)
- No acceleration
- Motion in straight line
Q7. What is acceleration?
- Speed of an object
- Change in velocity per unit time ✓ (correct)
- Distance traveled
- Constant motion
Q8. What is linear motion?
- Motion in circular path
- Motion in a straight line ✓ (correct)
- Motion with acceleration
- Rotational motion
Q9. What is circular motion?
- Motion in straight line
- Motion in a circular path ✓ (correct)
- Random motion
- Oscillatory motion
Q10. What is oscillatory motion?
- Linear motion
- Motion that repeats in a fixed path ✓ (correct)
- Random motion
- Circular motion
Frequently Asked Questions
How can I calculate average speed?
Average speed = Total distance / Total time. Example: If you travel 100 km in 2 hours, average speed = 100/2 = 50 km/h.
What does negative acceleration mean?
Negative acceleration (deceleration) means the velocity is decreasing. The object is slowing down. Example: a car braking has negative acceleration.
