Rail
Explanation
Water transportation
is the least expensive and
slowest
mode of freight
transport
. It is generally used to
transport
heavy products over long distances when speed is not an issue.The main advantage of
water transportation
is that it can move products all over the world.

Which of these is matched incorrectly?
Report Question
0%
Rectilinear Motion: Motion of a child on a swing
0%
Periodic Motion: Motion of a pendulum
0%
Circular Motion: Person sitting in a moving Merry-Go round
0%
None of these
Explanation
Motion in a straight line is called rectilinear motion. For example, motion of a
vehicle on a straight road.
In circular motion an object moves such that its distance from a fixed
point remains the same. For example,
e motion of a point marked on the
blade of an electric fan or the hands of
a clock.
Motion that repeats itself after some period of time, is called periodic motion. For example, motion of a pendulum.

Either B or C
Explanation
According to newton's law:
If an object experiences no net force, its velocity will remain constant. The object is either at rest and the velocity is zero, or it moves in a straight line with a constant speed.
Use of public transport system instead of private vehicles
Report Question
0%
Increases pollution
0%
Decreases pollution
0%
Does not effect pollution
0%
None of the above
Explanation
Use of public transport system instead of private vehicles decreases pollution as it can be used by many people at the same time, hence reducing the number of vehicles on the road. It decreases fuel consumption and pollution.
Hence option B is correct.
Which of the following is the common characteristic of all moving bodies?
Report Question
0%
They do not change their position with time.
0%
They change their position with time.
0%
They always travel with uniform speed.
0%
Equations of motion have to be applied to them.
Explanation
The moving bodies, i.e. the bodies in motion are called so because their position is changing with time.
The moving bodies don't need to travel with a uniform speed.
Equations of motion don't always apply to moving bodies. They are applicable only in case of uniformly accelerated motion.
So option B is the answer.
Motion along a curved line is called rectilinear motion.
Report Question

Identify which among the following are at rest -
Fish in water
Wall
House
Table
Report Question

Fish in water, Wall, Table
0%
Fish in water, Wall, House
0%
Wall, House, Table
0%
Fish in water, House, Table
Explanation
Wall, House, Table are at rest because they are fixed at one place their position is not changing.
But fish in water is in motion because the water is also flowing and the fish is also moving with water so it's position is changing with time so it is said to be in motion.
How do we decide whether an object is in motion or at rest?
Report Question
0%
If an object changes its position with time, it is in motion.
0%
If an object does not change its position with time, it is at rest.
0%
Option A and B are correct
0%
Option A and B are wrong
Explanation
We decide whether an object is in motion or at rest based on -
If an object changes its position with time, it is in motion.
If an object does not change its position with time, it is at rest.
Hence, option C is correct.
