Question

An object is moving in a straight line and covering equal distances in equal interval of time. Such type of motion is known as:

• A. Circular motion
• B. Uniform linear motion
• C. Periodic motion
• D. Random motion

Answer 1

The correct option is B Uniform linear motion

An object which is travelling on a straight path and covering equal distance in equal interval of time, is undergoing a uniform linear motion. The motion of soldiers in a parade can be approximated to be a uniform linear motion. They cover equal distances in equal interval of time.
Circular motion is the motion in which the object is moving on a circular path.
The motion in which object passes through a certain point after a fixed interval of time is termed as periodic motion.
An object moving in a path such that there is no definite direction to its motion is called random motion.
