7th Physics

Chapter -2 (Motion)

I. Choose the correct answer

1. The SI unit of weight is Newton

2. The straight line movement of an object is called Rectilinear motion
3. which of these is not a scalar quantity? Displacement
4. The amount of matter contained in a body is called mass
5. which of the following is correct?
speed=distance/time

II. Fill in the blanks with the correct answer.

1. The rate at which an object moves is called speed
2. Motion along a circle is called circulatory motion
3. Both rectilinear and curvilinear motion are Translatory motion
4. Distance has only magnitude and no direction
6. Total distance covered divided by total time taken denotes average
speed

III. define the following terms

1. Motion:- motion change of the position of a body with respect
to time
2. Translatory motion:- If an object moves in a line, straight or
curved its motion is said to be Translatory motion
2. Curvilinear motion:- Motion on a curved path
3. Average speed:- Total distance covered divided by total time taken.
4. Circulatory motion:- The motion along a circular path is called
circular motion

IV. Answer the following in brief

1. what is vector quantity? Give two examples.
A physical quantity that has both magnitude and direction is
called vector quantity.
Ex:- Force and Displacement

2. write the formula for calculating speed and average speed.

Average Speed = Total distance travelled/Total time taken

3. Give an example each of periodic motion and non periodic

motion
Periodic motion:- Swinging of a pendulum
Non-periodic motion:- Children playing in the park

4. Give two examples of rotatory motion

 Potter’s wheel and The earth rotation in its axis.

5. what is displacement? Also gives its formula

Displacement is the shortest distance between initial and final
position.

V. Answer the following in detail

1. Explain the statement with the help of an example that both
rest and motion are relative.
Page no.26

2. What is Translatory motion? Give its types and and example

of each
If an object moves in a line, straight or curved its motion is said to
be Translatory motion. The types of Translatory motion are
Rectilinear motion:- athletes running on a track
Curvilinear motion:- movement of a snake
Circulatory motion:- merry-go-round

3. Explain that terms distance and displacement with help of a

diagram.
Page number 31

4. Differentiate between mass and weight

Page no- 17 from chapter one

5. What is uniform motion? Give some examples of uniform

motion.
A motion in which equal distance is travelled in equal intervals
of time is called uniform motion.
Example:- A train moving at a steady speed
Hands of a clock

Understanding based questions

I. state whether the following statement are true or
false
1. rest and motion are relative terms True
2. Motion around a fixed point in a circular path is
called random motion False
3. Curvilinear motion is a type of non-periodic motion
True
4. Honey bee buzzing in the garden is a type of
periodic motion False
5. The amount of matter present in an object is
called its mass True

II. Numerical based question

1. The distance between two stations is 65km. A
train takes 2 hours to cover this distance.
Calculate the speed of the train.

2. Rohit drove a car with a speed of 40 km/hr for

two hrs. How much distance was covered by
Rohit?

3. A truck driver drove his truck for 5 hours at the

rate of 50 km/hr, for 4 hours at the rate of 60
km/hr and for 3 hours at the rate of 65 km/h.
Calculate the average speed of the truck.

4. Harry travels 5 km north and then turns West

travel to 10 km.Find the total distance covered by
Harry and his displacement.
