Motion 1 - SS1 Physics Past Questions and Answers - page 1
Which of the following best defines motion?
The change in position of an object over time.
The force applied to an object to make it move.
The resistance an object encounters when moving.
The weight of an object in motion.
Which of the following is an example of linear motion?
A spinning top.
A pendulum swinging back and forth.
A car moving along a straight road.
A satellite orbiting the Earth.
Circular motion involves:
Motion along a straight line.
Motion in a curved path.
Random and unpredictable movement.
Stationary position.
Which of the following is an example of periodic motion?
Ball rolling down a hill.
Waves crashing onto the shore.
A swinging pendulum.
A bird flying in the sky.
Rotational motion refers to:
Motion in a straight line.
Motion in a curved path.
Spinning or rotating motion.
Vibrational motion.
Define motion.
Motion can be defined as the change in the position of an object relative to a reference point or frame of reference. Motion refers to the change in position of an object with respect to its surroundings over time. It involves the displacement, velocity, and acceleration of the object as it moves from one location to another.
State and explain two types of motion.
-
Circular Motion: Circular motion refers to the motion of an object along a circular path. The object continuously changes direction while maintaining a constant distance from a centre point.
-
Rotational Motion: Rotational motion refers to the motion of an object around an axis or centre point. It involves the object spinning or rotating on its own axis.
Displacement is defined as
The change in position of an object over time.
The distance travelled by an object.
The speed of an object.
The force acting on an object.
Velocity is defined as
The change in position of an object over time
The distance travelled by an object
The speed of an object
The force acting on an object.
Acceleration is defined as
The change in position of an object over time
The distance travelled by an object
The speed of an object
The rate of change of velocity.
