Which of the following examples is related to rectilinear motion?

  1. Movement of Earth around the sun

  2. Simple pendulum

  3. Motion of the hands of a clock

  4. A car moving on a straight road

  5. The needle in a sewing machine


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

A moving car which moves straight on the road displays rectilinear motion.

What is the type of motion when a body repeats its motion in the same time interval?

  1. Periodic motion

  2. Random motion

  3. Oscillatory motion

  4. Curvilinear translatory motion

  5. Rectilinear motion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Periodic motion - The bodies occupy a particular position at regular intervals, e.g. position of minute hand in a clock once in every 60 minutes, hour hand in a clock once in every 12 hours, position of planets in their orbits around the sun.

What is the unit of speed?

  1. m

  2. m/s2

  3. m/s

  4. km

  5. km/h


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The rate of change of distance is called velocity.

Who invented the pendulum clock?

  1. Christiaan Huygens

  2. Archimedes

  3. Josip Belušić

  4. Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit

  5. Galileo Galilei


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The first pendulum clock was invented by Christiaan Huygens in 1656.

Which type of motion takes place when a ball on the ground starts rotating as well as moving forward on the ground?

  1. Translatory motion as well as rotatory motion

  2. Circular motion as well as periodic motion

  3. Rectilinear motion as well as rotational motion

  4. Circular motion as well as angular motion

  5. Rectilinear motion as well circular motion


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

The motion of a ball on the ground: The ball is rolling on the ground – rotating as well as moving forward on the ground. Thus, the ball undergoes rectilinear motion as well as rotational motion.

Which type of motion is exhibited by a simple pendulum?

  1. Random motion

  2. Oscillatory motion

  3. Circular motion

  4. Curvilinear motion

  5. Periodic motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Oscillatory motion: The 'to and fro' motion of a body, e.g. motion of a swing, movement of the 'bob' of a pendulum in a clock etc.

Which instrument is used to measure the speed of a vehicle?

  1. Speedometer

  2. Anemometer

  3. Ammeter

  4. Odometer

  5. Voltmeter


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

A speedometer or a speed meter is a gauge that measures and displays the instantaneous speed of a vehicle.

Calculate the time period of a pendulum, if it takes 15 seconds to complete 5 oscillations.

  1. 3 s

  2. 75 s

  3. 0.33 s

  4. 0.066 s

  5. 15 s


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The time taken by the pendulum to complete 5 oscillations = 15 s The time taken by the pendulum to complete 1 oscillation = 15/5 = 3 s Therefore, time period = 3 s

What is the shortest distance covered by a moving object from the point of reference in a specified direction?

  1. Distance

  2. Uniform speed

  3. Velocity

  4. Displacement

  5. Acceleration


Correct Option: D
Explanation:

Displacement is the shortest distance covered by a moving object from the point of reference in a specified direction.

Which of the following is correct about a body moving with variable speed in a straight line?

  1. The speed of the body is changing.

  2. The body is travelling with a constant speed, but it is changing direction.

  3. It covers equal distance in equal intervals of time in a particular direction.

  4. The speed as well as the direction of the body is changing.

  5. Acceleration is absent if the body moves in a straight line.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

The direction of motion is constant, but since the speed of body is changing, so it is said to be traveling with the non–uniform velocity.

The process in which an object travels in a straight line and its velocity increases or decreases by an equal amount in equal intervals of time is

  1. decelerated motion

  2. uniform acceleration

  3. velocity

  4. uniform velocity

  5. rectilinear motion


Correct Option: B
Explanation:

Uniform or constant acceleration is a type of motion in which the velocity of an object changes by an equal amount in equal time period.

Express the speed of 62 km/hr in terms of m/s.

  1. 17 m/s

  2. 1.72 m/s

  3. 1033.3 m/s

  4. 0.0172 m/s

  5. 1.033 m/s


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Given speed is 62 km/hr. Speed into m/s = [62 x 1000 m] ÷ [1 x 60 x 60 s] = 17 m/s

Which of the following is not an example of scalar quantity?

  1. Mass

  2. Distance

  3. Velocity

  4. Speed

  5. Time


Correct Option: C
Explanation:

Velocity is a vector quantity that includes both speed and direction.

Which of the following types of motion is there if a stone is thrown into the air at an angle?

  1. Curvilinear motion

  2. Rectilinear motion

  3. Vibratory motion

  4. Oscillatory motion

  5. Translatory motion


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

Motion along a curved line is known as CURVILINEAR MOTION.

Which of the following characteristics does not belong to a moving body?

  1. The body has no momentum.

  2. The body has some speed.

  3. The body has acceleration.

  4. The body has direction.

  5. The body gets displaced.


Correct Option: A
Explanation:

If bodies are not moving and their momenta is zero
