Question

A car travels the first 60 km of distance in 1 hr, next 70 km distance in next hour and remaining 20 km distance in the final hour.

Name the type of motion the car underwent.

• A. Oscillatory motion
• B. Uniform motion
• C. Non-uniform motion
• D. Can't say

Answer 1

The correct option is C Non-uniform motion

During first hour, speed =​ 60 km/hr

During second hour, speed 70 km/hr

During third hour, speed = 20 km/hr

So, the car travels different distances in equal time intervals. This is an example of non-uniform motion.

As it is not mentioned whether the car was in a to and fro motion, we can't say with surety whether the motion was oscillatory or not.
