TS 7th Class Science Important Questions 4th Lesson Motion and Time
Question 1.
Write the differences between uniform and non-uniform motion.
Answer:
Uniform motion | Non-Uniform motion |
1. If a body covers equal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in uniform motion. 2. Eg : A fan running at fixed speed. |
1. If a body covers unequal distances in equal intervals of time, it is said to be in non-uniform motion. 2. Eg : Movement of housefly. |
Question 2.
Classify different types of motions with examples.
Answer:
Based on the path taken by the bodies in motion, we classify motion of bodies as :
- Translatory motion Eg : Movement of car on a road
- Rotatory motion Eg : Movement of top
- Oscillatory motion Eg: Movement of swing
Question 3.
When is a body said to be in oscillatory motion?
Answer:
When a body is in ‘to’ and Tro’ motion along the same path, then the body is said to be in oscillatory motion.
Question 4.
Define motion. Explain the types of motion with examples.
Answer:
1. An object is said to be in motion if it changes its position with respect to its surroundings in a given time.
2. Based on the path taken by the bodies, motions are classified as
- Translatory motion
- Rotatory motion and
- Oscillatory motion.
i. Translatory motion : If all parts of a moving body move in the direction of motion, then the motion is said to be translatory motion. Eg : Moving car on the road, train on the track.
Translatory motion is further divided into two types. They are
a. Rectilinear motion and
b. Curvilinear motion.
a. Rectilinear motion : lf a body is in translatory motion, it moves along a straight line.
Then, motion is called rectilinear motion.
Eg: Movement of a train on tracks.
A mango falling from tree.
b. Curvilinear motion : If a body is in translatory motion, it moves along a curved path.
Then motion is called curvilinear motion.
Eg: Bus moving on hill station road.
Needle in a speedometer.
A spinning top.
ii. Rotatory motion : Motion of all particles of a moving body follow a circular path with respect to a fixed centre. Then motion is called rotatory motion.
Eg: Motion of blades of a ceiling fan.
Motion of earth around the sun.
iii. Oscillatory motion : The ‘to’ and ‘fro’ motion of an object about a fixed point always following the same paths is called oscillatory motion.
Eg : Pendulum of clock.
Motion of needle in a sewing machine.
Question 5.
Classify the following motions into translatory, rotatory and oscillatory motions?
a. walking man on the road
b. cradle
c. rotation of fan
d. motion of pendulum of clock
e. Rotation (spinning) of a top.
Answer:
a. walking man on the road | Translatory motion |
b. cradle | Oscillatory motion |
c. rotation of fan | Rotatory motion |
d. motion of pendulum of clock | Oscillatory motion |
e. Rotation (spinning) of a top. | Rotatory motion |
Question 6.
A Garuda bus travels at a speed of 80 km/hour. How far will it travel in 8 hours?
Answer:
Speed of the bus = 80 km/hours
Travelled hours = 8 hours
Distance travelled = Speed X Travelled hours
= 8 x 80
= 640 km
Question 7.
A train travels at a speed of 120 km per hour. What is the time taken by it to travel 480 km?
Answer:
Speed of the train per hour 120 km
Distance travelled = 480 km
Time taken =
The time taken to travel 480 km = 4 hours.
Question 8.
How can you decide whether an object is moving faster or slower?
Answer:
The distance travelled by an object in a given interval of time can help us to decide which one is faster and which one is slower.
Question 9.
What are the units for measuring time.
Answer:
Second, minute, hour, week, fortnight, month, season, ayanam etc are units for measuring time.
Question 10.
How can you calculate average speed?
Answer:
Average speed of an object can he calculated by the formula,
\(\text { Average speed }=\frac{\text { Total distance travelled }}{\text { Total time taken to travel the distance }}\)
Question 11.
The speed of car is 72 km/h, convert its speed to rn/s.
Answer:
The speed of car = 72 km/h.
Question 12.
The speed of a car is 56 km/h, where as the speed of a bus is 20 m/s. Which vehicle moves faster?
Answer:
Speed of a car = 56 km/h
Speed ofa bus = 20 m/s
Question 13.
A. The speed of a bus is 72 km/h, where as the speed of a car is 12.5 m/s. Calculate which vehicle moves faster?
Answer:
The speed of the bus is expressed in km/h.
The speed of the car is expressed in rn/s. To compare both speeds one of them must be converted into another.
Speed of a bus = 72 km/h
Speed of a car = 12.5 m/s
1km/h = 5/18 m/s.
1 m/s = \(\frac{18}{5}\)km/s.
Thus, the speed of car is 12.5 x \(\frac{18}{5}\)km/h = 45 km/h.
Hence, the bus moves faster than the car.
B. Look at the following pictures. Identify the motions and give some more examples to the motions?
Answer:
Name of the motion:
Examples:
Translatory | Rotatory | Oscillatory |
Moving Car | Rotating Fan | Sewing machine |
Running on the road | Rotation of Earth | Pendulurn |
Moving animals on the road. | Movement of pot | Swinging of girl |
Question 14.
What would happen if we don’t find motion in every object?
Answer:
Lack of motion on the Earth causes many problems.
- Earth will stop revolving round the sun. As a result, time and function will “automatically stop”.
- Seasons will disappear on the planet. Therefore, life of living things will face serious problems.
- Absence of motion in the objects will lead to disappearance of works done by them.
Question 15.

Question 16.
What difference do you find in the movement of the hands of a clock and the body movements of a butterfly? In these two movements in which case is the change of position with time constant?
Answer:
- Hands of wall clock and the butterfly are in motion.
- They change their position with time.
- But the change of position with the time in clock is constant.
- Hands in the clock move regularly in clockwise direction.
- Movement of hands in butterfly is irregular.
Question 17.
Write the observations you made in the following objects regarding types of motion.
a. Spinning top
b. Working drill bit
c. Motion of cycle wheels.
Answer:
a. Spinning top : The top while spinning follows a circular path with respect to a fixed centre of axis of rotation. It exhibits rotatory motion.
b. Working drill bit : Electrical drill bit has sharp pointed screw. It spins very fast with electrical power. Pointed screen takes a fixed centre and pierces into the wall to make hole. It also exhibits rotatory motion.
c. Motion of cycle wheels: It was observed that moving cycle wheels exhibit both translatory and rotatory motion. Wheels change their point of place to another place in a specific direction. Hence, cycle wheels exhibit rectilinear motion.

Comment on the given picture of fan regarding rotatory motion.
Answer:
While the blade of a fan is moving, the points A,B and C on the blade move to A1, B1, C1 first and then move to A2, B2 and C2 position. Thus, when a fan is in motion, each point on the blade moves in a circular path around the centre of the fan which is fixed.
