MOTION AND TIME MCQs
:
A and B
A distance is usually described using the physical quantity 'length'. Hence, the unit of distance is the same as unit of length, which is a fundamental quantity.
Here, metres and kilometres are units of length. Hours is a unit of time and kilograms is a unit of mass.
:
B
- When a body moves in a circular path with respect to time, it is known as circular motion. e.g. the tip of minute hand.
- When a body moves in a straight line with respect to time, it is known as linear motion. e.g the stone falling from a height.
- When a body moves about its own axis, it is known as rotational motion. e.g. the wheel of the sewing machine.

Translational motion is the motion of body where body moves in the linear path. It is the motion in which all points of a moving body move uniformly in the same line or direction.

Definition: 1 Mark
Unit: 1 Mark
The average speed of a moving object is defined as the total distance covered by it divided by the total time taken.
Average speed=Total distance coveredTotal Time
The S.I unit of speed is meter per second. Speed is also measured in kilometre per hour.
:
Condition for uniform motion: 1 Mark
Answer: 1 Mark
Speed1 =310=0.3km/min
Speed2 =630=0.2km/min
Speed3 =1060=0.166km/min
When a body is in a uniform motion, it covers equal distance in equal intervals of time.
In the above question, speed in all the three cases is different. Hence, it is not a uniform motion.

Sub-parts: 1 Mark each
(i) Seconds in a day =60×60×24=86400 seconds
(ii) Minutes in a week =60×24×7=10080 minutes
(iii) Hours in a year =24×365=8760 hours

Calculation: 1 Mark
Result: 1 Mark
Speed of Person B = 25 m/s
=25×185 = 90 km/hr
Speed of Person A is 60 km/hr
Hence, Person B is faster.
