  • Q2
    2. Source 1 uses the example of a vehicle moving from point A to point B to illustrate motion. What key observation is highlighted in this example?
    The vehicle's size changes as it moves.
    The vehicle's position in space changes with time.
    The vehicle disappears at point B.
    The vehicle's speed remains constant.

    Motion around a fixed point.
    Motion in a curved path.
    Motion that repeats itself.
    Motion in a straight line.

    4. Which of these examples best illustrates rectilinear motion as described in Source 1?
    A child swinging on a swing.
    A planet orbiting the Sun.
    A car moving on a straight road.
    A spinning top.

  • Q5
    5. Source 1 mentions that the Earth and other planets are in motion. What type of motion is this referring to?
    Rotational motion
    Rectilinear motion.
    Motion around the Sun
    Motion within the galaxy.

  • Q6
    6. Imagine you are standing on a sidewalk watching a bus drive past. From your perspective, which objects are in motion?
    Both the bus and the passengers inside.
    Only the passengers inside the bus.
    Neither the bus nor the passengers.
    Only the bus.

  • Q7
    7. Source 1 explains that the motion of an object can appear different to different observers. What principle is being illustrated here?
    The law of gravity.
    Relative motion.
    Constant velocity.
    The law of inertia.

  • Q8
    8. A person walking on a moving walkway at an airport is an example of:
    Only circular motion.
    Rectilinear motion relative to the walkway, but potentially a different type of motion relative to a stationary observer.
    No motion, as the person is on a moving walkway.
    Only rectilinear motion.

  • Q9
    9. If an object changes its position over time, can we definitively say it has undergone motion?
    Yes, but only if the motion is in a straight line.
    Yes, because a change in position over time is the defining characteristic of motion.
    No, because we need to know the object's speed.
    No, because the object might have simply changed its shape.

  • Q10
    10. A ball rolling down a hill is likely experiencing what type of motion?
    Periodic motion.
    Only circular motion.
    Both rectilinear and rotational motion.
    Only rotational motion.
    30s
  • Q11
    11. Source 1 primarily focuses on which aspect of motion?
    The forces that cause motion.
    The differences between speed and velocity.
    The conceptual understanding and definition of motion.
    The mathematical equations for calculating motion.
    30s
  • Q12
    12. Why is it necessary to consider the observer's frame of reference when describing motion?
    Because all motion is relative to the speed of light.
    Because the observer's speed always affects the perceived motion.
    Because all motion is ultimately circular.
    Because the observer's position and perspective can influence how the motion of an object is perceived.

  • Q13
    13. How does Source 1 differentiate between an object being "in motion" and having "undergone motion"?
    "In motion" is a scientific term, while "undergone motion" is a casual term.
    "In motion" refers to current movement, while "undergone motion" refers to past movement.
    It doesn't make a distinction; both phrases are used interchangeably.
    "In motion" applies to straight-line movement, while "undergone motion" applies to any type of motion.

  • Q14
    14. If two people observe the same object, could they disagree on whether the object is in motion?
    Only if one of the observers is moving.
    Only if the object is moving very slowly.
    No, the motion of an object is an objective fact.
    Yes, their individual frames of reference could lead to different perceptions of the object's motion.

  • Q15
    15. What can be inferred about the purpose of Source 1 based on its content and explanation style?
    To train students in complex problem-solving involving motion.
    To focus solely on the mathematical calculations related to motion.
    To introduce the basic concepts of motion in a simple and understandable way.
    To provide a comprehensive physics textbook on motion.
